Long, long ago Carl stated that, if you want to distribute the free 
Version of /View, that's fine, but you would have to send your script RT 
to be included in the library. I'm not sure this info is still valid, though.

The legal aspect would depend on the scripts copyright. And I expect on 
the locality of all involved.

Morally I'd say it's best to ask, or tell the other, if he already gave
