No, it is not. That entry is specifically about "CeCILL version 2".

Well, the FSF speaks specifically about the "CeCILL version 2". If you
check the link I posted to the Fedora wiki you will see that they
agree with that assessment, but neither "CECILL-C" nor "CECILL-B" are
considered GPL compatible by the Fedora people. If you read the CECILL-
C license I tend to agree that it is incompatible with the GPL.
