Can I publish an article about this please?

Dear Luick,
I have written an article on how to install and use your NOAAStation script. Doing that, I have amended (dare I say: improved?) your script. Now I want to publish that article along with the amended code in CQ-QSO, the bimonthly magazine of the UBA (the Belgian association of radioamateurs). Can I get your approval for this, please?
Thanks and very best regards,
Jantje.
