Actually they allow to "download and copy". I interpret this as an 
authorization to get and copy them.

It is true that they also forbid to "resell or redistribute" them, but I 
understand it as the interdiction to commercially use them. Not the 
interdiction to copy them for third parties because it would be 
otherwise contradictory with authorizing people to copy them.

This seems to make sense given the current applications of these terms 
of use by people on Internet.
