The reason given by KB.dk for the limitation to Danish
IP addresses is that the older (pre-1700) books are
digitized in collaboration with ProQuest as part of
their commercial offering 'Early European Books',
http://www.kb.dk/en/nb/materialer/e-ressourcer/proquest.html

So, can someone in Denmark download one such
book and see if the PDF file uses DRM, or if we can
somehow extract its content and upload it to
Wikimedia Commons?
