That is an entirely different situation, both mIRC and Windows are commercial products and would lose substantial amounts of money by opening the source. mIRC scripts on the other hand are not, there's nothing to lose from having an open source script. mIRC and Windows also are written in compiled languages, meaning that the source would be an extra to simply releasing the program, with mIRC scripts the script and the source are one and the same, meaning scripters have to go out of their way to try and hide the source - leaving the question "why would someone put so much effort into something which they don't stand to gain anything from?" - unless of course they do because the source contains trojans etc. That is why hiding the source to mIRC scripts is very suspicious.
Given the context of my reply and the fact that this is a mIRC board I thought it was pretty clear that I was only referring to mIRC scripts.
