If it's wrong, then it needs to be corrected at once.

All of Doctorow's stuff is copyrighted, however, it is under a Creative Commons copyright that allows for sharing the ebook implicitly.
I just looked at Doctorow's Little Brother from feedbooks. It retains the Creative Commons notice, but I didn't see a copyright notice in the book. (Hard to tell with Doctorow, because he's got a whole dissertation in there about copyright.)

Quote:
I think Hadrien should edit this to state that the books are either in the public domain, or have a copyright that allows copying, or permission to copy has been granted by the author.

That last case would be what your ebook would fall under.

I did not grant permission to post it in an altered form--namely, with the copyright notice neatly removed.

(Edited here) As I have since learned, that was a mistake, which has been rectified. Sorry for snapping. I should have given him a chance to check and respond.
