It certainly is. Wikimedia can freely choose who it will distribute its licensed content to.

Well, the mission statement does say that "The Foundation will make and keep the educational content from its projects available on the Internet free of charge, in perpetuity." Doesn't explicitly say "everyone, for every reason", but I would think that's the spirit of the statement.
