In my opinion, the most people should do with someone's else tileset (without permission and assuming the author is still active) is changing its palette. It's very simple to do, and usually the credit for the tileset is placed within the tileset itself. Any edits which are beyond modifying the colors should warrant the author's permission, I guess, but then again it would be a little silly to not give the permission away.

So hypothetically, you could ask Epic for permission to sell your levels. Whether they'd give it is another cause though.
