    By distributing a script you agree to it being open source and unless you have included license details such as what another user may or may not do with your code then unfortunately from a legal stand-point you have no control over any re-use or modification of the distributed script provided it is indeed modified and not redistributed in its original state under a different author's name. However, by providing a reference to you in the new scripts 'About' box, he has not only fulfilled his legal duties (which did not require this) but also attempted to (and in my opinion, did) make it ethically correct.

    ie. If you did not want your code to be modified or redistributed you should have included in your script package in any form or in internal documentation (ie. heading your script code) that the code is only provided as a reference and may not be directly re-used or built upon unless provided with express authorisation from the original author of the script.

    That being said, it is unfortunately your fault that he re-used your code and he is not required to ask for permission from anyone to reproduce it. So remember, in future include conditions under which your script is licensed for (re)use to prevent this...
