NLM is pretty clearly not public domain; Copyright Information & Downloading National Library of Medicine Data, for example, says:

Prospective licensees and those considering downloading data for redistribution should obtain opinion from legal counsel for any use planned for the author-generated abstracts in National Library of Medicine (NLM) databases and to ensure compliance with intellectual property laws. NLM cannot provide advice about copyright issues. Some material in the NLM databases is from copyrighted publications of the respective copyright claimants. Users of the NLM databases are solely responsible for compliance with any copyright restrictions and are referred to the publication data appearing in the bibliographic citations, as well as to the copyright notices appearing in the original publications, all of which are hereby incorporated by reference. Those who search NLM databases may download for personal use and may provide others with a single copy of downloaded data.
