Readers! Realize a reality rendered repugnant by the repression of reckless relentless regimes. Realize the retrogress of society, a reprehensible rabble of retardation and revolting reluctance. Really? Reevaluate and reconsider. Reexamine the results of today and recall remnants of yesterday. Rise, rebel, and retaliate against regression! A rebirth, redemptive and refreshing. Refuse to react without reason. Rather, rehabilitate the mind and restore knowledge and intelligence. Resurrect progress and never regret. Take the route of restless revival. Reinitiate The Revolution.
I should contribute some code to Anoncoreutils. Because according to Portuguese law, the concept of releasing material whose copyright I own to the public domain doesn't exist. We do have public domain, but I can't just say “LOL THIS IS NOW PUBLIC DOMAIN K.”
(Protip: It's because of these legal voids that we have ultra-permissive licenses like the MIT license or even the WTFPL, but no, you faggots had to push the “WE ARE ANONYMOUS; ANONYMOUS IS LEGION” shit to the realm of software)
No one who's serious enough will fucking use your code because no one knows what legal can of worms they're opening by doing it. Making it “completely permissive” with no license and anonymous contributors is the same as making it “completely restricted,” in the sense that doing anything with it leaves you open to lawsuits by anyone claiming to be "Anonymous."

Oh, I forgot the same this also holds true for several other countries.
