I made some debian and slackware packages that I was going to share with 
whoever (on personal web server) but was advised that to do that might 
violate licensing for redistribution. Any opinions? What might the legal 
requirements be?

Could you become a bit more precisely, what does this mean:

AFAIK as long as you are packing GPL'ed software there is no problem to redistribute/sell these packages to anybody! Only if there are some elements in Slackware (don't know a damm about this distri!) which are not GPL'ed you might run into troubles. Make clear that everybody knows that your debs are inofficial and redistribution might be a safe bet!
