Judging from (an older version of?) the website, it's a general
non-commercial license on all submissions:

I suspect the older (& definitionally public domain) material, could
be rehosted, but we'd have to seperate that out from the rest, and
then tackle the problem of whether any "editing" people have done to
them gives rise to new copyrights...
