Here is the relevant notation from the 14.1 change notes (where this was 
introduced):

```
*       Projects and notebooks now include a mechanism to guard against 
unintentional simultaneous use from multiple computers.
```

Specifically, having the same BBEdit project document (or notebook) open 
simultaneously on multiple Macs (via Dropbox, iCloud Drive, or other) is a 
recipe for disaster.

The individual files can certainly be accessed (with the usual caveats), but 
the project itself is now guarded to prevent this, as noted.
