You must contact the artwork copyright owner for permission first. You can't reuse artwork even if the game is released for community.
It most likely depends on where he is doing it.
In Sweden(and probably many other parts of the world) he may do allmost whatever he wants with the game as long as he's paid for it. Whipe his butt with the disk, modify the code to include a red smurf serial killer, print out the code and show to anyone he likes, make 300 duplicates of the disk, etc. Only exception is that he is not allowed to distribute copys of the game, or parts of it.
So as long as he doesn't give the graphicans&co individual copys of the work he wouldn't have to ask anyone for permission what so ever. Just as if he had bought a book and decided to cut out a few pages and show a publisher as an example of what kind of book he would like to write and publish in the future.
