The "not find out"-part is the one you should hope for. Everything is copyright protected, unless the author explicitly puts it in the public domain (or the copyright has expired, which it absolutely hasn't). As long as he doesn't, he decides what others may do with the model. He doesn't need to give explicit personal permission, if he says on the page you got that model from that converting it is allright then you're allowed to do it. There is no need to do anything to get copyright, not even a copyright notice, everything (technically even the posts on this forum) that is new enough automatically has copyright (the US law used to be different, but that changed years ago).
I'm still looking forward to play the maps Rubba is working on, I just wanted to point out why it's risky to use models without the original author's explicit consent.
