This is a good illustration that Open Content Mining does not necessarily
all of the lierature to be fully CC-BY. It requires clear labelling of the
subset that is BOAI-compliant. There is enough material - I believe - in
BMC and PLoS papers to develop some useful science. And the toll-access
journals will miss out on the citations.

This is the problem with UK/PMC (as Casey Bergman and others have pointed
out) - it is difficult to find the content that is minable other than BMC
and PLoS.
