This is not the author's site, that is why the copyright is not
stated. In general, all fiction that Corey Doctorow writes is covered
by the CC by-nd-nc/1.0 license.

> 2. Can I use Tlug wiki for this work?

Yes, please do! I will be happy to help you clarify the text (in
Japanese, I suspect), and I would love to get a parallel effort to
translate it into Japanese, German, French, and other languages spoken
by TLUG!

> 3. How can I do 2. ( Sorry if it is a FAQ )

This is not a FAQ, but there *is* a FAQ:

http://www.tlug.jp/wiki/TlugWiki:EditHOWTO

In short:

1. Register an account here: http://www.tlug.jp/wiki/
2. Wait until after my lunch break, at which time I will add you to
the TLUG group
3. Add to this node:
http://www.tlug.jp/wiki/Translations:When_Sysadmins_Ruled_the_Earth
