The books are in the PD, so the DRM isn't no legal, only a practical barrier.

The limitation to Danish IP addresses seems ridiculous to me. I have asked for the reason. I hope someone in Denmark can mass upload these PDF files to Wikimedia Commons.
The reason given by KB.dk for the limitation to Danish IP addresses is that the older (pre-1700) books are digitized in collaboration with ProQuest as part of their commercial offering 'Early European Books', http://www.kb.dk/en/nb/materialer/e-ressourcer/proquest.html
So, can someone in Denmark download one such book and see if the PDF file uses DRM, or if we can somehow extract its content and upload it to Wikimedia Commons?
