Definetly.
Just to clarify, in case it was still unclear, my primary concern
isn't with the rights of the copyright holder being preserved (they
are preserved regardless) but with the ability of people to make
derived works from such a work, and whether or not anonymous copyright
holders with (questionable?) licensing agreements curtails the
distribution of derivative works.
