It will be good to check for sure. Certainly in my CommonMap
project
it's a different story, I'm using Apache httpd as the web server.
Out
of the box httpd logs IP addresses in the access_log. I think OSM
is
also using Apache httpd now as well. It's likely that the
sysadmins
would almost never use the logging results, but it could still be
a
problem if, say, the hardware got seized for investigation.<br>

Quite a few systems block users that come from the Tor network,
particularly Wikipedia. Tor is a popular method for vandals to not
only hide their IP address but to use multiple IP addresses to evade
any attempt to block their IP address. I've also come to understand
that it drives the FBI nuts when it turns out that Tor has been used
in connection with a crime.<br>
