You can now download the source code for all Infocom text adventure classics
The source code of every Infocom text adventure game has been uploaded to code-sharing repository GitHub, allowing savvy programmers to examine and build upon some of the most beloved works of digital storytelling to date.
There are numerous repositories under the name historicalsource, each for a different game. Titles include, but are not limited to, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Planetfall, Shogun, and several Zork games—plus some more unusual inclusions like an incomplete version of Hitchhiker's sequel The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Infocom samplers, and an unreleased adaptation of James Cameron's The Abyss.

That's not a license, and it's not written by the copyright holder. The author of the readme almost certainly has no authority to issue licenses or otherwise give permission to anyone to use the code in any way. You aren't allowed to even copy the code (got clone it).
