Yeah, I'm actually not as clear on the terms as I should be, but I'm pretty sure that it's just so that when a writer comes out with a book or chapbook, or the poem is otherwise reprinted, that the publication gets a mention like, "this poem originally appeared in the May 2014 issue of Juggs" (for example). I don't think they generally prevent a writer from choosing to reprint or republish a work in another publication or medium.
