Netflix, the world’s largest streaming service, will air special baseball events that draw millions of viewers each year. These include the league’s opening night exclusive and its Home Run Derby, where players compete to hit the most home runs.

Media companies ESPN and NBCUniversal also have acquired rights to other MLB-related programmes.

The three-year agreements will help the league expand its reach, said Baseball Commissioner Robert D Manfred Jr.

Microsoft makes Zork I, II, and III open source under MIT License

Zork, the classic text-based adventure game of incalculable influence, has been made available under the MIT License, along with the sequels Zork II and Zork III.

The move to take these Zork games open source comes as the result of the shared work of the Xbox and Activision teams along with Microsoft’s Open Source Programs Office (OSPO). Parent company Microsoft owns the intellectual property for the franchise.

Only the code itself has been made open source. Ancillary items like commercial packaging and marketing assets and materials remain proprietary, as do related trademarks and brands.
