Sure we can. These are not Infocom games, or, when they are, then they
are Infocom sampler packages, which are IMO distributable. Most of
if-archive is freeware (written by other people than Infocom, but in the
Z-Language).
What you of course cannot distribute -- as already mentioned -- are the real 
Infocom games (Trinity, Zork 1-3 etc.)

PS1: Frotz can AFAIK handle Z8 games
PS2: Was anyone able to run `adventure' under Linux? Compiling went ok,
     but running gave an error about not finding the verb 'abcde' or
     similar.
