IANAL
One fun thing to do would be to strip out the compatibility with blizzard's software and hook it into a GPL realtime strategy game. Possibly using crystal space as the 3d engine. If it is decent enough it could cut into blizzards market a bit(or a lot) and cut of their air supply. It could be marketed as the first real time strategy game created out of anger.

A ruling in the bnetd DMCA case Posted Oct 4, 2004 17:40 UTC (Mon) by jvotaw (subscriber, #3678) [Link] As I understand it, Blizzard games are mostly peer-to-peer. Battle.net and bnetd are more like match-making services than anything else (certainly they're not like dedicated Quake servers). At least, I think this was the case several years ago.
Still, working on a libre competitor to Blizzard's games sounds like a very good idea to me.
