SO im glad that Zork I, II and III are open source now under the MIT license.

https://opensource.microsoft.com/blog/2025/11/20/preserving-code-that-shaped-generations-zork-i-ii-and-iii-go-open-source

(AND in fact the MIT license, seems especially fitting for open source/free software folks I think. Considering, Zork began life inside MIT's computer labs.)

BUT man that feels a little.... stingy? LIKE I dont quite get why they excluded Beyond Zork & Zork Zero. Which were ALSO developed by Infocom in Z-Machine pre-90s.

BUT hopefully its a start of something more and maybe we will one-day see the whole #Infocom catalog liberated. #InteractiveFiction #Videogames #floss #Zork

Preserving code that shaped generations: Zork I, II, and III go Open Source

Microsoft’s Open Source Programs Office (OSPO), Team Xbox, and Activision are making Zork I, Zork II, and Zork III available under the MIT License.
