This issue is a unique one. The Text at this site is "May be freely distributed and Coppied" though they do say they want to be acknolaged as the Author, what is WP policy on this? --MWOAP (talk) 17:57, 19 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
If by "text", you mean "abstracts from journal articles," then the answer is definitely and absolutely NOT.
The meaning of the paragraph beginning "Note:" is "Things written by the PubMed staff, like the 'PubMed comprises more than 19 million citations for biomedical articles from MEDLINE and life science journals' text on our main page is fair game, but anything published in a medical journal is copyrighted by the author and/or publisher, not us, and you need to respect their intellectual property."
The text in question is a simple and direct copyright violation of an abstract from a journal article and should be removed immediately. WhatamIdoing (talk) 02:31, 20 December 2009 (UTC), copied here from WT:PHARM by ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 08:47, 20 December 2009 (UTC)Reply
