@eludom How old is it? Certainly extra special considering who it is from too :)

@freemo copyright lower left 1897 (yes, people were trying to copyright something that is essentially the golden rule that far back)

@eludom You couldnt copyright the golden rule, you'd need a patent for that :) The copyright on this would likely hold up in a court of law though, but it wouldnt suggest ownership over the golden rule, only this particular prose and wording.

@eludom @freemo Maybe the copyright is not for the text but for the artwork.

@SuperDicq

Could be, but that would be an odd choice. That said it may at least include the artwork and the prose, the whole work is copyrighted by default.

@eludom

@freemo @eludom Defining a copyright symbol is not required to have copyright on something, you have copyright by default if you create something. People simply put it there as a warning.

@freemo @eludom Actually at the time it probably was required to put a copyright symbol there.
