In the accurate historical sense of the term, yes.

In the much more currently commonplace use of the term as "a bunch of resources that people can just use", no.

I think it does fit "a bunch of resources that people can just use". It's a shared pool where the only rule is to put derived code back, except the rule is even less because personal use is exempted.
