> Should be fine so long as he isn’t profiting

I don't think that is a valid legal argument.

Based on the last ownership of Westwood Studios, EA probably owns the rights to the Red Alert sprites. So "should be fine" depends on how litigious EA chooses to be.

My first instinct when I see EA is to assume the worst, but they've allowed "Return of Reckoning" (an unlicensed version of their now closed MMO: "Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning") to remain operating for years now so I really have no idea.

True but it’s probably safer than having characters that look like Mickey Mouse
