In any case copying all kinds of stuff directly from the 5e books and allowing people access to it feels like it's inviting trouble to me. A short check of the content on that page showed a few things to me that are supposedly product identity, and the legal part of the website is rather flimsy with "Disclaimer 5etools is intended as an easily-accessible digital reference for products you already own.
