The article cited makes it quite clear that this would be only for pre-1923 material, thus being no different than other periodicals DP is working on, e.g. Punch, Notes and Queries, Birds Illustrated, American Missionary, etc., etc., etc.
Not to mention that it is a community consultation and on top of that it doesn't reduce the liberty of any DP volunteer not to work on this stuff. Just as it doesn't reduce the liberty of certain hopeless fools to do a few pages in DP every once in a while, while tinkering on a world-changing tool that is fundamentally impossible but will nonetheless change the world and to actually spend most of their 'volunteer' effort in criticising other people who are actually contributing. Just live and let live. Regards, Walter
