"Anonymous FTP" is just net.language for "Public FTP". It doesn't imply anonymity--connections are usually logged, and the banner usually says so. "Anonymous" in this context means ftp for people who don't have accounts on this machine (non-anonymous ftp is where you use a username and password which correspond to an account on the machine).

Blame it on historical usage.
