Would it be clearer to say: I have some code written in a scripting language. Does that mean it's open source by definition?
'Source code for a program written in a script language' is confusing to me because, as phrased, it could describe situations where the 'source code' spoken of is different from the 'program written in a script language'. In some such situations, the source code could be open source and the program might be non-open source.
