If Valve have anyone who cares enough to think about it then they might be interested in any potential revenue from licensing an ancient game, so however little their expectations might be why not?..
They might, actually.... I know for a fact that TFC is STILL selling. That's kind of fucked up, if you think about it.... TF2 has been free for years now, as has FF.... but TFC is still bringing new gamers into the fold. I just checked the store, and it's still $4.99. That game may never die.

Back to your idea.... that would be pretty rad, to be honest about it. The only issue I can see would be server-side add-ons not translating well(if at all). Drippy's still has one of the most popular bot free server out there.
