Blizzard does not lose their rights to it when somebody uploads the source code publically. If someone decides to use theor source code that they did not obtain a license for, blizzard can always sue.

Reading and learning​ from said source code is, and should not ever be illegal.

Uploading it is using it. The uploader would be sued if anyone. Anyone else using the code would be sent a C&D first.
