How much of an issue is copyright? I believe Illithids are copyrighted by WotC, for one thing.
I think someone suggested some nations based on middle-eastern mythology (or was it the arabian nights... I forget) a while back. i don't know much about it myself, but I think it'd be cool.
Shrapnel is a game publishing corporation. So they cannot be seen as ingoring other game creators copyrights. But being copyrighted doesnt mean you cant use it. It only means that you cant use it without permission.

In the case of MODs where it was clear that they used items from other games they were either deleted from shrapnels forums or the person got permission to use the images/sounds/names etc.
