assuming the licensing terms are compatible, obviously.

to be fair, GtkRuler hasn't been maintained for a long, long time, and
any porting effort from the old GTK drawing semantics to the new ones
is probably going to be considerably more expensive than just using a
GtkDrawingArea and 25 lines of Cairo drawing code.
