If releasing the source to scripts makes something "free, as in freedom with
a lower case f," then JAWS is the most free screen reader ever as tens of
thousands of lines of script code is delivered in a manner which anyone can
modify, redistribute and enjoy to their heart's content.  So, don't let open
source scripts lead one to believe that libertad has been achieved.

Please note that this is not "free" as in "free (libre) software", but
only for $0.  They are considering to release scripts in Open Source
though (but that may mean that you only have the right to see the
source, not to modify/redistribute/...).
