This clause is moot, because "The T Project at Yale" has not existed
for the last fifteen years.  So a best effort would be a seance at
which a psychic medium channels the spirit of a project past.

Then said improvements would, I think, be returned to Yale University or to the T projects successor (if any), or to the copyright holders or former members of the project.

It'd probably take some lawyer work to determine the appropriate party to deliver them to.
