Their source is shown as Freebase, which doesn't have anything to do with IMDB. It's freely usable data as long as it's attributed.
I suspect they may have trademark issues with their site name, but their data looks free and clear.

It is a great service and I have also donated to them but as far as legality goes, not sure how they support IMDB's terms and conditions.
