Actually, large parts of Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency were produced at around the same time as the HHGTTG radio series, in the form of "City of Death" and "Shada", two stories that Adams wrote for the 1979 season of Doctor Who.
I played a lot of text adventures when I was a kid, but these days I can't stand anything more primitive than The Secret of Monkey Island. I'm sorry, but endless "guess the verb" sessions are not my idea of a good time.
You can download the source code for a GPLed application and do whatever you want with it without agreeing with the license. However, if you want to distribute your version of the code afterwards then you must abide by the GPL.
If you remove the "use" from the second line of your post it becomes much more accurate. The GPL only imposes restrictions on how you can distribute software. Anyone can use it however they want.
On an aside.. i'd play a MMO space sim.... something the likes of the old X-Wing games or the X^n games.
You might like Vendetta Online, then. Its extreme low-budgetness does show through at times, and the fact that it's been in development for several years means that you're going to see some fairly jarring differences in quality between the various models and textures, but in gameplay terms it's basically X:Online.
Uwe Boll's movies are filmed in Canada and funded primarily by European investors. The Clone Wars was self-funded and created in-house by Lucasfilm, which is not Hollywood-based. Not all movies are made by Hollywood.
Might be a bit too little, too late though, with the Pandora coming out within a few months. Maybe this will work as a small, cheaper alternative in the open handheld market.
I will not stand by and take this slander against my home and native land. I'll have you know that Canada has hundreds of buildings and has had them for decades now!

Did Adams have another accident with a contraceptive and a time machine?

It's a UNIX-like operating system for the Commodore 64. I think it's dead now, though.
I know. Why couldn't they call it something cool like "Hero's Quest" or something?

You mean like Vendetta?
Starhunter Online would be awesome.
I don't even RTFC, but I can say with authority that you're wrong and stupid. Probably ugly, too.

I initially read that as "Kernel-Mode Code Singing Walkthrough" and thought it was the best idea ever.
And a ping-pong ball to cut in half to make a crash helmet.
Recruiting for the navy, perhaps? Maybe advertising for the YMCA?
If you were a software patent you'd already be dead.

Are your eyepatch and peg-leg at the cleaners or something?
I was very disappointed that this article had nothing to do with a sequel to Loom, though.
