If anything, just give credit where credit is due.

For my custom pacific theater map, I used a bunch of custom skins. If you look when you download those things, in the readme's the authors will usually say "you are free to use this in your own mod, but please give credit to me".

Maybe email all the top dogs from each mod and ask if its ok..? Tell them he will give credit in readme.

I never have problem with people sharing code from mods, since it's technically owned by EA. However, stealing graphics or textures or models is different and technically whoever made them owns it. Unless of course they put it into a license or something that says it can be freely shared.
