Maybe I'm dense, but from the description of the Zope Framework (from
http://docs.zope.org/zopeframework/about/index.html) as "a collection of
libraries managed by the Zope developers," I can't imagine a non-Zope
person being interested at all.

As far as I can tell, the Zope Framework is a project management
structure, not something outsiders would be interested in.
