Ummm:

It's not clear to me how much copyright they can place on the texts (they didn't create them, and all(?) of the authors are long dead); but they can copyright the collection, I think.
(FWIW, they share a disadvantage with Wikis in that their links (autogenerated it seems) are sometimes faulty. E.g. the verb "bourne" links to a list of people and places of that name.)
