The book is open-source with a GFDL license, so no, there are no safeguards. In fact, changes are encouraged. ;-)
Seriously though, I'm thinking each student would have a local copy, rather than a shared copy on a server. They could experiment with Sage within this copy, and perhaps annotate it using the Sage/browser interface. They'd probably want to keep a pristine PDF or hard-copy version around as an authoritative version to guard against making a mess of the worksheet copy.
