Yes, the anonymous files are files that were uploaded using the  
admin's "anonymous" account from the old site's files.  When the old  
website had a contributor associated with it then that name was put  
into the "featuring" field.  The only ones that were uploaded that way  
were all the files submitted by users with just a single submission -  
thinking being that we did not want to generate accounts for all of  
those people just to get their one submission over to the new site.   
If the attribution is not correct and the file was not originally  
uploaded by James Ots, then it is a simple matter to clear out that  
field.  Keep in mind that the "by line" on these submissions is not a  
notation of authorship, just who uploaded it.  As jon says, it's all PD.
