publishing work anonymously

Name: Anonymous 2012-05-14 3:39

Is there a robust way to publish work anonymously? IE, publish the work and never worry about being forced to reveal yourself as the author due to some possible dispute?

Using a very unrestrictive license like MIT or WTFPL with a pseudonym seems to be good. Even if someone else claims to be the person behind the pseudonym, that person couldn't restrict your use of the software, due to the loose license. So there wouldn't even be a need dispute their claim. Or maybe I'm missing something here. Anyways, advice would be appreciated.

When you're anonymously publishing your own code to the world on the Internet, you're waiving copyright on that code which is effectively placing in the public domain. Sharing that code with the intent of disclaiming copyright with an organised software development group, you're effectively donating code to them. That group can choose to claim it as their own code and apply copyright to it (who would really know otherwise the source was original and anonymous) or they could possibly credit the source as anonymous and in the public.
