The text is probably still copyrighted. I'm not a lawyer, but I imagine creative paraphrasing of the original work with small excerpts is much preferable, legally, to wholesale copying.

More importantly, if you read the article, the text is in Nederlands and the more you excerpt, the more you will have to translate.
