Haha, BF1942 Mod

Where did you hear this? I don't believe this is true. It's not like we're taking something from Valve and putting it in a DICE game or vice versa. They have absolutely NO reason to say anything like this at all...

You weren't even allowed to take code from the expansions and put them in a mod for the main game (bayonet from RR, and jetpacks from SW come to mind).

No, you won't be able to use any BF42 (or Vietnam) content in BF2 for
two reasons: First, the file formats are completely different, and
second, DICE doesn't want it done. It would raise all sorts of copyright
issue. I don't believe anyone ever said you could use content from
another game in this game ... If you've made your own content, then yes, you are of course free to repurpose it for this new game but since any content you used in BF42 and Vietnam were "borrowed" by you, DICE is perfectly within their rights to refuse it to be allowed in the new game. This was the same when BF:Vietnam came out: you could use Vietnam content in your mod, but not BF42.

We'll do El Alamein, and we'll do it right. If you guys have played our Operation Citadel map on the BF42 engine, you know what we can do with large scale tank battles.

I read that, too. And we are working on a LV remake, means remodeling all buildings 1:1. If this isnt true all our work was for nothing. This wouldnt be nice..

We contacted EA regarding this issue. This comes straight from Lance Brown.

I do not understand how Dice is going to be able to stop somebody from reusing BF42 and BFV content in BF2.

I think ea doesnt want it. It doesnt depend on dice, ea is the boss :P
Whatever, it definately sucks.
