The creator of this github repo is the same person who publicly called for the release of the infocom adventures after Microsoft acquired Activision. (HN discussion from a month ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37893794)

I don't see mention of a license in the repo, but I wonder if informal permission was given to make the sources public?

And a few MS/ex-MS employees popped up in the comments, so it's likely something happened behind the scenes. Would love to know the story.

The license only matters if someone cares.

In this case, it is very unlikely no one cares and not wishes to see this in public.
