Yes it is.  (I'm on the advisory board of EuropePMC - Tim Hubbard is chair).

It's in part because many publishers are in continual "negotiation" with
NIH about what can(not) be published on PMC and what can/not be done with
it. Some publishers allow material to be displayed but not re-used. There
is a limit on downloads from PMC, etc. The "Open Acccess Subset" is not
defined as CC-BY but material that is openly visible and "OA" in some
sense. (Much of this comes from the fuzzy language used by OA leaders such
as "removal of *some* restrictions". I have challenged this frequently.
