When sharing a project, ask what license you want to put your project under. Here's a list of licenses that should be added:
Creative commons by SA 2.0 (the license that projects are given when shared on scratch normally)
GNU AGPLv3
GNU GPLv3
GNU LGPLv3
MIT license
Apache License 2.0
The Unlicense

Semi-support, although this may be convenient as well as enforcing things such as copying, people on the site that are 5 years old probably don't know what licenses are

There can always be simple explanations on what each license allows…

No support, I can see this being misused easily.

How so?

I am a bit hesitant with this. The license summaries mention “Private Use” and I find that a bit ambiguous. Could you explain that a bit more in details?

Pick one.

Also, please close your bbcode

I Semi-Support. i also think it should remove the features for each lisence, like removing remixing for those who dont allow copying

No support, the FAQ states that if you don't want people to remix your projects, you shouldn't share it on the Scratch website.

Uhh it isn't preventing remixing…

One of the main focuses of Scratch is to learn, and some people prefer to learn by taking apart others' projects and learning from them. That's why remixing exists. Preventing remixes on certain projects (likely better-quality projects where the creators would be more likely to protect their work but would also be a great learning opportunity for new Scratchers) would also prevent us from learning.

No Support, unfourtunately; this can prevent people from remixing, and 5 year olds don't know what licenses are (like what Alexphan said).

All of the licenses listed are open-source. They do not in any way prevent remixing; this is not suggesting that we allow people to share their projects copyrighted, but only under open-source and potentially copyleft licenses.

As it is, I think I support - I kinda hate the GPL but I get that other people like it so I won't oppose it. I normally like sharing my stuff under MIT so that would be pretty cool.

Support! I honestly would license my future projects under the GPL, if I could. However, what would the rules be about using work protected under one license in a project protected under another?

Open source doesn't mean you can remix though

Ok free software license then?

No support, that means a user can prevent remixing. Eek.

Whoops, got mixed up. Well, semi-support since licensing is not the point here, sharing is.
