I read the FAQ and noticed this:
"Making the Early Journal Content freely available is something we have planned to do for some time. It is not a direct reaction to the Swartz and Maxwell situation, but recent events did have an impact on our planning."
Anyone know what that is about?

Swartz:

Maxwell is ours, see

I corresponded personally with Jstor, but could not get anyone at the Wikimedia foundation to discuss material in the public domain with them. They seem to have gone ahead and made a commitment to make material that is in the public domain available. I haven't tried to make of copy of anything yet; however, they have terms of service conditions which seem to allow only access, not reuse.
