While sources[1] at provided for free together or "on demand" with
binaries, and GPL (COPYING file, licence headers) comes with,
there is no restriction.
Regarding scripting languages, there is rarely obfuscated code, so only
missing COPYING file would avoid distribution.
Also, "distributions" are encouraged (Libre distributions are a somewhat
recent fight).
