Well, there is a difference between your grid and our : while your grid is
correct and our has been built using the same overall process, our grid
ensure the centimeter precision (they are something like 2 more iterations
when computing the grid's nodes).
You can keep our page on by just informing users the difference in precision
between your grid and our.

No problem for the licence/legal status : the original text file found on
IGN's web side is public data. A lot of GIS editors have been using it
directly to implement the projection usign this grid. So, feel free to use by
keeping in mind the above point on precisions.
All the best,
