Claims it is open source.

The torrent somebody asked for: https://archive.org/download/AnneFrankTheDiaryOfAYoungGirl/A...

The license info there is almost certainly wrong. On whose authority is it Creative Commons?

If it's in the "open source" collection, I think that's just because it hasn't been moved to a different one yet by administrators.

Apparently they have some sort of exemption (as an extension of the LoC?) but that's never been legally tested.

They are indeed fearless. They have put up thousands of copyrighted video games, for example.
