[cc-community] confusing use of CC licenses?

Hello,

We've just been contacted by a person inquiring, how he can reuse a work 
by Samuel Butler (1835-1902), made available in an University of 
Adelaide ebook collection under a CC BY NC SA license. (The work is a 
remix of Homer's Illiad).

http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/
http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/h/homer/h8i/

This seems to me a really confusing use of CC licenses - the whole 
collection is CC licensed and contains solely works in the public domain.

Is there any reason to do this?

Best,

Alek Tarkowski
