The only way that Unreal Tournament and Tactical Ops fans can continuing playing this game,it's giving support from people and fans that still playing this games, because Unreal Tournament, and principally Tactical Ops are in trash, in this last, no one knows who's the owner of this game; it was atari, and they don't are; the study "Kamehan studios" ,that who was the developer, it's dead because there is no legal personality of this company.

You can be very certain that Epic will ignore this petition. The GPL is simply too strickt about how open the code must be. Also, even Unreal Engine 3 still uses parts of the UE1 code - you can't expect Epic to release that much of the current engine's interior to the public. And also the term "UE 1.5" - there's no such thing. UT code has been handed over to the Unreal Tournament Preservation Group (UTPG), who have released new versions up to v451, IIRC.

The part about not being financial gain also doesn't fully apply, because the Unreal Anthology - including Unreal 1, Return to NaPali and Unreal Tournament (all three use the latest UE1 version) - is still on sale.
