Not legal advice for sure and take it with a grain of salt, but first I'd:

- Get all of the evidence you can that you distributed it first. If this requires contacting another company to confirm records of when you made it available, do that first to have it ready.

- Contact the FSF, send them that evidence, and ask what you can do/should do.

- Send a summary of the evidence you have (or at least some of it, and depending on what the FSF folks suggest) to the person, telling them you wish them to stop selling your script. They will probably stop.

If that doesn't work and FSF couldn't help I'd either:

1. Attack via social networking. Blog, comment, tweet, etc. the hell out of it in areas you know will affect his/her market, linking to your free source.

2. Just give it up.

Good luck!

I would also like to add to contact the SLFC. http://www.softwarefreedom.org/services/ They are likely to also be helpful.
