pfctdayelise is talking pure nonsense (as she often does in legal issues at Commons). The sense of the policy is to allow small exceptions from the "all must be free" doctrine. The exceptions must be legal according the national law and according the US "fair use". Each European country has exceptions similar to "fair use": e.g. German "Zitatrecht". If http://www.ivir.nl/dossier/implementatie_2001_29_EG/wetten/tsjechie.pdf is the actual Czech Copyright Act article 31 is relevant allowing "quotations" of works for teaching purposes.
I agree, that appears to be the relevant law. My comments to Timichal were based on his adamant assertion that there was no Czech equivalent to fair use. If he is wrong then naturally my comments won't follow any more. :)
