In my opinion, if the original texture pack is released for free then there shouldn't be a problem with another person carrying it on as long as the original artist/artists are credited.
This is why I make sure every texture pack I work with is clearly labeled as being okay for redistribution, as long as everyone involved is credited somewhere. Copyright of HD retextures is a pretty murky area, especially packs involving multiple contributors - and most people tend to err on the side of caution rather than get slammed with some bull crap lawsuit. If Dolphin devs/mods are telling you not to repost texture packs, then that's their right at the operators of this forum and it's probably best just to let this die.
I do agree with Bighead, though. It's a shame that stuff people put so much time and effort into (for free) is lost to the internet forever due to some copyright muckiness.
