Judging from the book 'titles', I think they're probably just adding search
terms until they reach a desired number of pages.  First thing I checked was
Wikipedia's Terms of Use and they're so broad it's almost unbelievable.  It does
mention that commercial re-use is acceptable:

Looks like they've got them listed on Amazon UK also

Unfortunately I'm not able to post reviews over there.
