In CA, most cops will consider lane sharing legal IF done safely. This means no weaving fulling in and out of lanes, not over speed limits and not being a general douche about it.
I've split a few times on the freeway when it's rush-hour. Once the freeway was shut down and if I wasn't able to split I would have keeled over from heat exhaustion (that did happen, but thankfully later when we were on a back road I was able to stop off the side of to peel all my gear off before passing out briefly).
I've never gone over 15-20mph. I have a stock bike. I'm mindful and careful about it.
It is a gray area but for all intents and purposes, I consider it legal as much as changing lanes is legal when there are still "unsafe lane change" laws.
