I haven't played Wesnoth for ages, but I recognise these graphics instantly.

It is, but the project using it has to be GPL licensed. The project you linked is.

My understanding (and if I recall correctly from reading the forums Wesnoth's developers had a similar view) is that only derivative graphics need to be GPLed, not the game itself (using the game in conjunction with Wesnothian graphics would constitute "mere agregation", rather than the game itself being a derivative work).

But, of course, since this project is already GPLv2, there wouldn't be a problem either way.
