The general rule of thumb is any content made by a person is their own. You have no right to access, use, change, or distribute that content unless the maker/owner gives you permission. With mods, a lot of mod creators do not like their content added into "mod packs" that are then distributed elsewhere. Personal use is different. If you have a bunch of graphics mods and changes, that's fine. It's when you start handing them to others outside the intended purpose of the content does things go sour. Content from Crossfire, for example, was not made for the purpose of being added to Discovery.

It's a super grey area at the end of the day that is leaning more towards the no-go. Get Permissions from the creators and if you can't get permission or can't find the original creator, don't make a pack for people to use with that stuff. If you want to continue, make a pack with content that was green-lit for you to use or your own tweaks.
