I highly doubt it's going to be removed from circulation forever. My guess is it'll be archived internally, the disc itself will end up in their campus museum, and at some point legal will sign off on releasing it to the public.

SC1 is coming up on its 20th anniversary next year, who knows what they'll do for the occasion.

Agreed, but sometimes…

Preservation requires distribution.

Of course, and thankfully I know for a fact Blizzard has redundant backups of all their source control :)

The disc would die in a fire certainly, but so would it if it were at the Archive.
