Hi Declan --- You're not over reacting --- this is an excellent example of the scalability of OER. The site uses a CC-BY license which effectively empowers educators to take ownership of their teaching :-) and reconfigure and remix the resources in innovate ways. Sharing knowledge and resources is what education is all about!
I also see that the site has a feature to export the articles in XML format --- which raises interesting possibilities for import <==> export between the platforms. As our fund raising for the OER Foundation kicks in -- we should be able to get more technical capacity on board to make this kind of magic happen!
