There is Shlomi Fish's version:
https://github.com/shlomif/fortune-mod/
This includes the patches from Debian and other distributors, along with
various other updates to the data files, including removing some (but
certainly not all) of the more obnoxious fortunes.
I am a bit dubious about the licensing of some of the original
collection, though, even under the most liberal interpretation of fair
use -- for example, songs-poems contains complete lyrics for several
songs that are certainly still under copyright. (Although I guess we
could now add a complete set of Tom Lehrer!)
