Yes it is. Logback is LGPL but SLF4J is X11-licensed. Now, since one is supposed to go through SLF4J to use logback, client code is shielded from any supposed or real disadvantages of LGPL. Graphically, we have:

client code -> SLF4J -> logback

Thus, client code only sees X11 licenced code. You *can* of course use logback directly but going through SLF4J will let you change the underlying API at any time if you wish to do so.
