I call everything a script. Makes the Java devs real mad. Makes the PM's super confused.

A million-line project spread over a hundred files

It's a script!

sqlite is technically just one C source file, so that's definitely a script.

The compiled binary being another script.
Just in a different language.

Being one source file is the definition of a script?

The definition of a script is something the computer executes (if it's a computer script, of course). Everything else people shove into it is extraneous.
