I was reading the Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien, and in one of his letters, he actually states that C.S. Lewis seems to be getting ideas from Tolkien's books. He didn't really seem to be complaining about it, so I don't think he entirely minded. Of course, they did become estranged after a while, so that could have played a part in it.
