Zork 1-3 going open source

Very cool.

Does this affect the content within Zork? Could I make a Zork-based tabletop RPG? Or is it strictly about the underlying code?

It seems to be explicitly only about the code:

This release focuses purely on the code itself. It does not include commercial packaging or marketing materials, and it does not grant rights to any trademarks or brands, which remain with their respective owners. All assets outside the scope of these titles’ source code are intentionally excluded to preserve historical accuracy.

This is a bit unfortunate, IMHO. Do they really have plans to commercially use the Zork IP?

Neat!

Never got to play them, but love text adventures, so always wanted to give them a shot.
