what _is_ lost, AFAIK, is the MDL compiler and
environment. So one
can inspect the source (at least one version, anyway), and one can
play the game (two versions for 36-bit that I've personally run), but
not turn source into a playable game.
Apparently the ZIL interpreter from Infocom is based on MDL.
