Any unauthorized use of resources is illegal, and id specifically clarified this point when asked by the kdizd team - i.e. that Doom2 resources could be used in Doom2 mods (as permitted by the EULA), but not ones for Ultimate Doom. And vice versa.
TECHNICALLY yes... but id doesn't actually care. those involved with the KDIZD project made the DUMBEST mistake by asking id. Legally they have to protect their work, it's not as though they were going to write back, "Oh yeah sure, violate the license." For 10 years id knew people were doing this and didn't stop anyone, and silently supported it. By writing to them with a pretentious attitutde, they forced their hand to tell what was legally obligated, making it look bad for everyone else.
As far as I'm concerned, nothing has changed and I support and will continue to do as I always have.
