It certainly is. Wikimedia can freely choose who it will distribute its
licensed content to. Users accessing Wikimedia sites with a web browser are
fine. Live mirrors leeching bandwidth are not. There is nothing that
mandates Wikimedia to distribute its contents to everyone for every reason
for no price.
