It's used as a tag because it's located in one directory on a server and
needs to be used on as many as 50 sites (virtual hosting, obviously) ...
rather than having all the code just copied and displayed in the source,
we're using the standard <script src="whatever"></script> ... since the
pages calling the scripts could be as many as 6 directories deep, it was
necessary to write a tag (or I suppose an include in a global includes
directory) to create the virtual path to any possible directory.
I'd be interested to know how calling a custom tag and calling an include
from a global include location differ in processing time. We haven't noticed
any significant change in load time, and since I'm on a whopping 26.4Kbps
(horrid dial-up) connection most days, I'd notice any performance lags.

This might better fit over on the CF-Partners list.
I doubt there are any legal issues.
I'm curious about the efficiency of a custom tag that does nothing but
drop in some custom JavaScripts. Have you tested it for efficiency of
using a custom tag vs an include vs just putting it in the page? For that
matter, has anyone done and number crunching for Custom Tag vs Include vs
just putting it in the page?
Since JavaScript is not processed by CF, obviously just putting it into
the page is the most efficient. I can see the benefits of using an include
if the same JavaScripts are used in many places. I'm not sure why you
would want to make it into a custom tag.
