Well, okay, thats true somehow.
But what if you put an image on your website that is copyrighted by you. Everyone can access and copy it, but noone is allowed to reuse it. It doesnt need any extra license. Shouldnt be different for a script. Games often contain copyrighted plaintext scripts. Thats not an invitation to steal it, but people still mustnt reuse it for their own purposes (thats why it is forbidden to offer any original gta files for download here). Javascript probably can also be copyrighted. Publicly available, but still no permission to reuse it, even if theres no license given at all.
Maybe im thinking the wrong way, but I dont see a difference to a pawn script here.

Anyways, doesnt matter, cause as I said the script cant be copyrighted, they dont completely own it, and trying to "make it their own" script would be a copyright violation itself.
