No one knows when or even if QL will return. id has provided very little information, so the community can take action now and host their own servers.
The client and servers do not communicate with id's servers and they are not linked to your QL account in any way. These files are 100% clean. All the info comes from this ESR post: http://www.esreality.com/post/2110433/quake-live-dedicated-servers
