Seems obvious, doesn't it?  AFAIK it would be perfectly legal to take
the code directly.
I find [csoundapi~] very useful.  I tend to think, if you want Csound,
use Csound, but as a Linux enthusiast I think it's generally better
for an option to exist than to not exist.
How the two programs are structured is a different question.  I don't
know for sure, but it might take some substantial changes.  Csound
uses vectors and scalars for audio and control signals, somewhat
different than block size.  Then again it might translate easily, I
dunno.
Csound has a huge library, some of the more advanced stuff might be
useful too, not just oscillators.
