I think you only need the franchise, the permission to make a game titled uncharted waters, the source code will be nigh useless because porting it(asm to C and EGA to dd/d3d/sdl/ogl) to modern operating systems will be much harder than rewriting something from scratch.
The gameplay of MMO version of UW is not like UWNH, as a MMO that is full of repetitive actions, it works, but UWNH's gameplay is not suitable for a MMO game, UWNH's map is too small for any multiplayer mode, the straits of Gibraltar is only 1 tile wide, all players will end up camping there if you make a multiplayer version based on UWNH's map. UWNH's turn-based-strategy combat is too slow for real-time multiplayer, so creating a MMO with UWNH's gameplay probably won't work out.
