More likely imo, someone will be charged with archiving it inside Blizzard and on their internal repos.

Blizzard already has the source code, in fact it's actively being extended as part of a HD remaster right now.

I have no doubt they are very happy to have the original copy back, it probably means quite a lot of the original developers and I would never dream of keeping it from them had it been up to me.

I would definitely hope they keep the hard copy somewhere safe but history hasn't been kind to game source code.
