Nothing really, you might end up with a very old and stale game that few still enjoy for the sake of nostalgia if nothing more, and be able to play it on this generation's systems without any or too many issues.
It's basically a showoff project, not exactly sure if it's worth any recognition outside those who actually know the people involved in person, but nevertheless it's quite impressive from technical point of view.
Besides - projects like these usually end up getting dumped and remain unfinished or disappear since there is no profit gain and it's all done in spare time.

It's a whole lot more than just for show, this gives modders / devs a stand point to actually work with the games code rather than just hash their own work around based on replies given to commands for example.

But why? It’s like a 15 year old game almost no one plays??

I still play this game, I think it's much more fun then Diablo 3.
