I don't know how to say this any more clearly: the library is being made strictly "life+70". So yes, if an author is in the life+70 public domain, he is OK to upload.
If you are in the US, and a work is protected by US copyright, then you would be breaking US copyright law by uploading it, but that's your problem, not ours.
