I find this very interesting because (as mentioned in one of the comments) it seems that running anything with saved data on a computer could potentially constitute 'running interpreted code'. And that is really the thing that has bothered me about the whole fiasco. The policy seems to come from a fundamental misunderstanding of how computers actually work.
Normally we think of there being a huge difference between code and data... psychologically we categorize notepad.exe and a .txt file differently from a scheme interpreter and a .scm file.
But really, at a macroscopic level, they operate in a very similar way. If I open a text file in notepad, notepad reads the binary data in the file, and interprets it as ASCII or Unicode, and then prints it to the monitor.
And the same process takes place in a scheme interpreter. I open the file, binary is read and interpreted as scheme code, and the results of interpretation are printed to the monitor.
(This is even more obvious with something like html).
You could easily think of different file formats as different programming languages, and different programs for opening them as interpreters for said language (what is MS Word but an interpreter for .doc codes?) Every time I save a file, I am having the computer generate a little interpretable program. (A continuation?)
But when you realize this, it seems like any policy banning interpreters logically collapses. If I can't have an interpreter, I can't save files, if I can't save files, what is the point?
So you could look at scratch as something that allows you to save scratch files, or you could look at scratch as something that allows you to interpret scratch code... it doesn't really matter.
Saving and compiling are the same thing, reading and interpreting are the same thing. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this would mean that between their rules, they can (theoretically) outlaw any program that does much more than cause the device to become warm.
Granted, they won't, because they have a certain notion of 'how computers work', which is generally shared, but it isn't particularly true..
