> 4.4 You may only submit user-generated projects that were created with (1) the Scratch website editor or (2) an unmodified copy of the Scratch editor compiled from the source code described in Section 5.3. You may not upload any projects that were created, by you or by anyone else, with a modified version of the Scratch editor.

**We can't speak on behalf of the Scratch Team**, but we will note a few things:

- We are not aware of any instance of this being enforced for any mod.
- TurboWarp is definitely a "modified version of the Scratch editor".
- Regardless of section 4.4, you shouldn't upload projects to Scratch that force people to use TurboWarp or any other mod. It's probably okay to suggest it, but you must let that suggestion be easily ignored.

The wording of Section 5.3 is also interesting:

> 5.3 The source code for Scratch 1.4 is available for download and subject to the copyright notice as indicated on the [Scratch FAQ](https://scratch.mit.edu/faq) page.

If the terms were enforced as written then anything made in Scratch 2 or 3 would also be in violation.

*At the time of writing, the Scratch Terms of Use were last updated April 2016.*
