I'd think that Activision would have to be insane to license out games
which they currently have in print themselves. I guess you can ask,
though.
Also -- maybe I'm paranoid, but could you be really vague about the
nature of ZIP and Inform if you talk to Activision? Like, not say
anything at all. Activision is a huge company, and huge companies sue
by reflex. I can just see a court ordering Graham Nelson and Mark
Howell to be dropped into a shark pit for "pirating code owned by
Activision". Regardless of the truth of the situation.
