We may be able to argue that it is since we explicitly give people the option 
of providing a link-back in lieu of the more strict author requirement of the 
GNU FDL. Given our liberal interpretation of the GNU FDL I don't think that a 
mention of our project's name is much to ask (even if it is just a request, 
and not a mandate). As I said before this may even go beyond the GNU FDL and 
get into proper referencing practices.
