Terminology for the opposite of commented out

Tags:

When a piece of code is commented we say just that, it's "commented out". But when it's not commented out, what is that?

Uncommented isn't quite the same. Active? It's definitely not commented in.

What's the best way to refer to the act of de-commenting out code?
