Legally, yes it's canon. But artistically was my point. What makes nu!Trek different from fan fiction or fan art created by the fandom in general? You can't even argue that the original actors give it legitimacy since (as I mentioned earlier) some fan works DO have the original actors as well. But as far as I can tell, none of the original TOS writers or Roddenberry have endorsed nu!Trek. A lot of them couldn't of course, given that they were dead.

So, sure, legally it's not a fan work. But artistically I don't see why someone's fan fiction should be considered a less legitimate interpretation of the characters than Kurtzman, Orci, and Lindeloff's.

Following that argument, what make TNG canon (well, later seasons since Rodenberry was around for the first part)? DS9? Voyager? Enterprise? Do you not consider those canon as well if they don't have the explicit endorsement of the TOS or Roddenbery?

There were also a lot of writers for TOS (just check out the link below). Do all of them have to endorse it? Or just one? What if it was the guy who wrote "Spock's Brain"? If you found that they did endorse it, would you then consider it canon?
