Wow. Is everyone here aware that this would apply to any source code we write too? If an author writes a private book for his/her SO, that would pass into public domain because the copyright s/he gave to the SO would go away at time of death. I'm assuming that would mean we could not assign rights to source code to our family while we are alive. (Or anyone else come to think of it?) Since those rights go away when we die. This would change a lot. It would change almost everything.
