They are a publisher.  They publish a series of booklets, with real 
ISBNs and all.  You can't buy them at Barnes & Noble or on Amazon, 
but they're still real, live, dead-tree editions.

This is no different from most other publishers, except they charge 
much more reasonable fees for their booklets -- they are a 501c3 
non-profit organization, after all.

If I had mentioned a book that I wrote or co-authored, or a book that 
I had been technical reviewer of (e.g., 2nd editions of the O'Reilly 
books _DNS & BIND_ and _sendmail_) and I provided a link to the 
publishers web page for the book, would you have done anything 
different?
