I can't imagine that anonymous contributors have any practical rights
when it comes to this. Since we can rarely trace an IP address back to
a single individual with complete accuracy, it becomes impossible to
say who exactly holds the rights on contributions made by anons. I
would be inclined to say that the content rights of an anon are
basically void by virtue of being anonymous. you can't anonymously
hold rights to something, it makes no sense.
