I'm kind of curious about the license status of this. Zork has been commercially sold (on iOS) within the last 10 years, and I don't quite know how this source would be MIT's to give away, unless there is a deal with whatever legal entity owns Infocom's intellectual property these days.

So, I don't know, does seem a bit on the legal edge?

I think the publishers have decided that no lawyer/IP owner worth their salt would make a case of this and publishing is a benefit to historical computing.
