I think it's an old PHP best practice, I'm pretty sure that the reason is that 
the webserver only executes .php files as php, so by naming them .inc you 
make sure that they will only be executed if they are included by some other 
script that is executed.

I'm +1 for renaming, but make sure to check that these scripts don't introduce 
any security risks if executed directly
