Yes, of course you can use it, as long as you comply with the
licensing of the relevant files.

src/splivarot.cpp, the relevant function is at lines 115-602. By the
way, the API of this function is extremely badly designed, as the
actual boolean code begins at line 239; the rest is just
error-checking and preparation.
