The person who runs prosecraft says "I looked to the internet for more text that I could analyze, and I used web crawlers to find more books." [0]
I'm just inferring, but if they had, say, purchased each of these books, or borrowed them from the library, or only sourced from sites that ensure the copyright is satisfied, then they might have mentioned it.
(FWIW, the blog post says the other source for the 25K works was their personal library, so I'm assuming the bulk of the 25K come from the internet, though I know some people have prodigious personal libraries.)
