This is an interesting question. It's been a common practice to use assets and scripts created by other people in D-Mods. In the majority of cases, the original authors are credited. TBH, while it might vary by person to person, I think not crediting people for their work is disrespectful towards them.
There are D-Mods that use assets from other games, which is for the majority of cases technically copyright infringement and illegal. But I've never heard cases that anybody ever complained regarding their material used in a D-Mod. After all, who cares about freeware mods developed for a very nieche 28-29 year old game?
Of course, there's the development category on this site's download section, where authors put their material for the very purpose of others using them for D-Mod development. Some are not the uploader's own work, sometimes it's copyright infringing, somtimes it's used in accordence to a proper license that allows using it under certain conditions.
Another matter is using assets derivitive of original Dink. Seth would pay attention if they were used in a license infringing way. But people are free to use them in their D-Mods, so that's not an issue.
As scratcher wrote above, the community never developed enforced guidelines or had a concensus on this stuff. The exception may be plagiarism. That's generally frowned upon, and not just here.
