I especially like the following provision:

Do not copy, display, perform, distribute or redistribute this
electronic work, or any part of this electronic work, without
prominently displaying the sentence set forth in paragraph 1.E.1 with
active links or immediate access to the full terms of the Project
Gutenberg-tm License.

And yes, that license is why all references to Gutenberg were removed. I like how they refer to the full terms of the license as being "in legalese." I've always considered that to be pretty much a separate language given all the training it takes to be able to both understand and use it.

It looks like it is increasingly a useful resource to consult. As for the two history books, I think they took both of them from the Gutenberg project, which has three such old books, including the two at Galbijim, in its collection. More on this at: http://www.froginawell.net/korea/2006/07/books-on-korea-available-from-the-gutenberg-project/ The books are, of course, now in the public domain, so Galbijim is perfectly within its rights. However, it would be very nice if they acknowledge the hard work of scanning and proofreading these works and link/promote Gutenberg so that we can get more of these books online in the future (Unfortunately, their compilation license has a few annoying clauses, http://www.gutenberg.org/license, which Galbijim avoids by removing all mention of the Gutenberg trademark, but they could still promote it indirectly on the site.
