Forum:More info on Tales of Beedle the Bard please

Somebody has posted summaries of the other four Tales of Beedle the Bard, which were not published in any of the Harry Potter books. According to public sources, there were only 7 copies of this book released to the world, 6 of which were distributed to close family and friends of the author, the 7th put up for auction. This is common knowledge.

I would like to know how the four tales that were not told in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows came to be summarized here, when distribution of that material was so heavily restricted.
