No, these are 1.6 million public domain works, that are available for any platform on archive.org.
The reason that these are finally available for the OLPC is because they are now all available in EPUB format, and the Read Activity on the OLPC has been updated to handle EPUBs.
In the past, the OLPC could not display archive.org pdfs, due to the specific PDF encoding used (MRC-compressed pdfs with jpeg2000 layers).
