I am going to find who actually created the joke, if at all I possibly 
can, and inform HIM about copyright reversion under section 203 of the 
Copyright Act.

Additionally, in the fullness of time, I will also inform your Estate 
about said feature of the Copyright Act, along with all others who 
contributed code to free-software I can find who are affected by this 
war against sexism.

I will inform the Estates and Persons of the damages they can claim if 
the notice of reversion is not complied with, I will also inform them 
about derivative works and how any replacement code my very-well be 
derivative.
