An article about computational science in a scientific publication is not the scholarship itself, it is merely advertising of the scholarship. The actual scholarship is the complete software development environment and the complete set of instructions which generated the figures.
–David L. Donoho, WaveLab and Reproducible Research, 1995, p. 5.

Good reason as to why such scholarship should be released under free licenses, software scholarship or otherwise.
Thanks for the interesting pointer.
I’ve written some thoughts here:
