Part of what's made this project such an arduous monument of effort has been them making sure Bethesda can't shut them down. Using other people's IP in mods is totally allowed by Bethesda, and always has been, as long as the mod is wholly your own original work. If Skyblivion took the easy path and imported the models of Oblivion, that might have been killed by Bethesda. Instead, they've taken on the ludicrous challenge of recreating a game down to the last detail, and it gives them total legal immunity.
