A friend of mine in South Africa, Isabel Hofmeyr, passed on this image of the first page of the first edition of the English translation of Gandhi's "Hind Swaraj" - or "Indian Home Rule" in translation. The book was published in South Africa in 1909, and is rarely available. Isabel was able to see it courtesy Uma Dhupelia-Mesthrie, who owns a copy.
And the copyright legend on this front page? It reads:
"No rights reserved"
Isabel and Uma kindly offered to donate the image to Commons, and you can see it here:

Finally, an answer to the great copyright question that has never been asked: "What would Gandhi do?" :)
Cheers, Achal
Outstanding! 3 words to change the world!

Amazing! Gandhi would have supported Wiki too.
