It is.

It's also a company with a similar mission - publishing free content  
information.

I tend to think that the point of nofollow is to keep Wikipedia from  
being used for commercial purposes. But promoting free content  
information is our basic purpose, and I think there are sensible  
reasons to go ahead and do it.
