[. if you are redistributing an official copy,
or pointing at where to get it, then ]
you can include a description of Scratch
and the Scratch logo:
"Scratch, a project of MIT Media Lab's
Lifelong Kindergarten group,
makes it easy to program your own
interactive stories, games, and animations
-- and share your creations on the web.
As you create and share projects with Scratch,
you learn to think creatively,
reason systematically,
and work collaboratively .

some confusion about linux sources
. no need to recompile if are using
a recent version of Ubuntu (7.x or 8.x).
However, if you do need to rebuild the binaries,
they have source code for the Squeak virtual machine
and
source code for the special Scratch plugins is available
at "(mks://localhost/Source_Code) ?

inside the Squeak programming environment.
To get started,
first copy the Scratch application
( pc: "Scratch.exe"
, mac: "Scratch.app"
) from your normal Scratch folder
into the Scratch source code folder.
(The Scratch application is actually just a
Squeak virtual machine,
so any recent Squeak virtual machine should also work.)
Also, put a copy of the Squeak source code file
in that folder if needed
(this file is included in the zip file
starting with the 1.4 source release).
Finally,
drop the file "ScratchSourceCode1.4.image"
onto the Scratch application.
The Squeak programming environment will start up,
allowing you to view and modify the Scratch source code.
Scratch is built on a modified Squeak 2.8 image .
That version of Squeak is documented at
the squeak.org site, and two books:
Mark Guzdial` "Squeak: Object-Oriented Design with Multimedia Applications"
and {Mark Guzdial, Kimberly Rose}`
"Squeak: Open Personal Computing and Multimedia"
Both the source code and pre-compiled binaries
for the Squeak virtual machine are available at www.squeakvm.org .
. classes that appear in the original Squeak 2.8 image
are covered by the Squeak license
while all code in the remaining classes is covered by the Scratch license.
The Scratch classes are easy to find in practice:
nearly all of them appear in the class categories starting with "Scratch-".
