It's typical of the Linux filesystem, regardless
of what the file is, or who it belongs to. 

It's not a problem that a script is owned by root, 
but in order for others to run it, the permission 
for "others" must be open. That is, a script
owned by root can't be run by others if it's 
700, but it can if it's 755.

Let me know if that doesn't make sense.
