It shouldn't hurt anything. Most of the libURL commands used to be in a 
common library in MC, until it got so big that they moved it into its 
own substack. After that, the "new" requirement was that you had to 
start using it if you needed to. So if your plugins put it in use, you 
aren't doing anything different than the old IDE did. I don't see any 
potential problems, I think the library pretty much stays out of the way 
and behaves itself.

That's a long way of saying you don't have to get permission.
