   From the EC computer software directive:

   "Whereas, in order to remain in accordance with the provi-
   sions of the Berne Convention for the Protection of
   Literary and Artistic Works, the term of protection should
   be the life of the author and fifty years from the first of
   January of the year following the year of his death or, in
   the case of an anonymous or pseudonymous work, 50
   years from the first of January of the year following the
   year in which the work is first published;"

What does it mean to have a copyright on a anonymous work?  Who holds
it?  What rights do they have?
