I'd like to ask Blizzard to release the source of games they no longer sell or make profit on GPL v2 or any other free license, which would allow porting them to Linux and other operating systems. There are always people that enjoy taking such projects pro bono. Such decisions have no negative impact on Blizzard, and in fact - the contrary. The games live longer and the producent has more respect among the gamers. Good example: ID Software.
