This version is the canonical "modern Unix" version of the game; it is distributed under the name adventure(6) as part of the bsdgames package on most systems.
The Adventure Family Tree states:
Per Rick Adams' "A History of Adventure", "Jim Gillogly ... spent several weeks in 1976 porting" WOOD0350 "into C for UNIX. ... Gillogly later ported the code to Heathkit and then IBM-PC personal computers with the help of Walt Bilofsky." GIBI0375, then, seems clearly to be a child of GILL0350. See also the MOCAGH entry. From an email from Don Wood to Rod Lockwood (view this page's source for the full text): "The only other version that has any claim to canon would be the one by Software Toolworks, which sent a copy to Crowther and me in the hope that we would bless it as being the same as 'original' Adventure (meaning v1). We played through it and noted that there were a couple new puzzles added, so we worded our approval accordingly: all the features of the original, and some new content that we felt was in the spirit of the original. (We also suppled our signatures to be included on the Certificate of Wizardry -- or some such title -- that the Software Toolworks version let you order from them using a code obtained by getting the top score.) One of the puzzles they added I remember being impressed enough with that I would consider adding it back into my version if I were moved to extend it again."
