These sorts of "joke licenses" probably won't hold up in court, but we probably don't inherit any serious legal risk from them.
Upstream should be advised to move to some standard permissive license like the MIT or revised 2-clause BSD license. Without a disclaimer, there is some legal risk for the developers especially in U.S.
