I'm pretty sure that the changes to the website make it clear that the
website terms of use and the trademark license are not additional
copyright terms.
I also think that the current text describing the trademark license
make it clear that re-packaging is fine while using the marks (it
says as much) so I don't forsee that this will be a problem getting
things into Debian.
Of course, folks should know that changes to the license were done in
order to help Scratch into Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, etc. If there
happen to be any lingering concerns, we can probably work with the
Scratch team to get them address.
Thanks to Miry and everyone else whose working on this! I'm really
looking forward to finally getting Scratch in Debian!
Later,
Mako
