You know that crazy long text that always pops up when you try to install something? That's what you want.

Also, the User License Agreement can be found online or in the readmes for most games if you don't want to set up the installation, for example DoW2:
README file for Dawn of War II

I know this, I need to know the legal rights tied to the assets along with the game

As a rule of thumb
  • Do not export any assets out to use in different games
  • Only get soulstorm data into DC for the mapeditor
  • Do not port out data from other games to dow
  • Do not combine more than one IP. So no Vader in Dow. Unless you make a full and total conversion with no traces of wh40k remaining.
That covers the biggest things that can hit my head.
