So thinking about it more carefully, in the best case scenario his explanation simply proves that he is open to the possibility of using copyrighted material illegally. Whether, this particular skin is or not, it sounds like he has done before. Perhaps unknowingly, but that doesn't give anybody the right to pass off somebody else's work as their own (which is what would irk me the most).
That would be like me compiling the AC sources and changing a few things here and there, and trying to claim I'd written a new FPS without giving any credit to the original authors (or even denying where my source code came from). Except in his case it's even worse because he's not allowed by law to "compile" his own from the source, since the "source" (the graphics) is protected by copyright laws.
