http://www.spatula.net/software/sex/ says "Original author unknown.
Presumably this is public domain by now." Anyone know why they
presume that?
Clueless. It certainly isn't public domain. The author, whomever it
is, is most probably not dead for 70 years; the programming language
this is written in (whatever it is! (except maybe the one used by Ada
Lovelace...)) didn't exist back then.
