Regarding where these files came from:

> The source code was contributed anonymously and represents a snapshot of the Infocom development system at time of shutdown - there is no remaining way to compare it against any official version as of this writing, and so it should be considered canonical, but not necessarily the exact source code arrangement for production.

(From the "witness" readme, and presumably other repos)

Lack of provenance isn’t a barrier to filing a DMCA claim, unfortunately. Likewise, it isn’t really a basis for a counterclaim that I can see.
