It is not self-evident that it is satirical. It seems malicious enough to me.

If you really can twist your brain into ascribing malice to those words, it's not surprising that the self-evident satire is completely lost on you.

Imagine if the license chose Bill Gates as the exclusion. Would it seem more satirical to you then? If so, why? What if it were George W Bush?

The heart of satire is ridicule, so malice and satire can indeed live quite nicely side-by-side.
