Their main concern seems to be that the stories are freely available. The specific wording is "we do not allow authors to redistribute free stores unless they have sole publishing rights or the stories are in the public domain."

I think it might be a protective measure to curtail plagiarism. It's quite frustrating. If I can't sell my E-Book on Amazon, I may need to look at other venues.
