I Am Not A Lawyer, but I understand the answer to be "yes". There is
nothing in the ThoughtWorks Open Source Software License
(http://confluence.public.thoughtworks.org/display/CCNET/License) that
limits how you use CCNet, only how you "redistribute" it.
Redistribution is commonly understood in the Open Source community as
the GNU General Public License 3 (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html)
defines "propagate":

To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it
on a computer or modifying a private copy. Propagation includes
copying, distribution (with or without modification), making
available to the public, and in some countries other activities
as well.
