Like @Simbax mentioned, you definetly can't use the name Colobot. If you want to use the original code, you are free to do so, just keep in mind the requirements of GPLv3 license - you always need to provide the source code along with instructions how to compile it and credit the original authors. (These are just the most important things I remember, you should read more about the GPLv3 license if you are seriously thinking about it)
If you make something cool, we might merge parts of it back into Gold thanks to the magic of open source

I don't think anybody ever tried that though, because the whole code is an undocumented mess with tons of bugs. I'm currently working on documenting public CBot API, so I hope that to change soon.
