(The C&C guys are actually well aware of this project and are fine with it... so this isn't true.)
All CnC assets are still copyrighted by Westwood/EA and not freely available anymore, so per law, it is illegal to share them as mods. Also, Dune was never available as free download, which makes the whole mod illegal as well.
