The page does state that it "is for educational use only", which arguably makes it OK vis-à-vis fair use [0], but I'm not sure about the specifics of U.S. copyright law regarding these exceptions. I imagine, though, that there are some restrictions on what constitutes "educational use" in a legal sense – an open access internet page being available for any use by anyone and all. To me, it does bear a superficial resemblance to "no copyright infringement intended" [1], though the latter makes no sense at all.
