The author/publisher might be anonymous. Also, the code could publish itself - one of the opcodes in the Ethereum VM is "create contract".

The code has still been authored to use that op code. Even if you were using a genetic algorithm or similar to generate contracts and some happened to be useful the authorship is still with the author of the original program. Anonymity protects you from having to defend liability not from actually being liable and obviously in the case of crypto has been defeated in the past.
