Unfortunately, this is a common misconception of copyright law. In the US, where I live, the law grants an exception for "education purposes." This is not a blanket exemption for any educational use; instead, it means that one person, for their own enrichment, can make copies _for their own personal use_ without fear of persecution. For example, I can photocopy a book in a library, or I can type parts of the book verbatim into my computer. However, even teachers are not allowed to use the "educational purposes" clause as they see fit. For example, a teacher can make a copy of some pages from a book and give the book to his or her students, but a teacher cannot photocopy an entire book and pass it out to the students. In the same way, the Mnemosyne project website is not the place to host cards that include the entirety-- or even some significant portion, say 30%-- of any single copyrighted material.
