yes, it is.
Tell your specialist to read the acompaining "COPYING" file, which contains
the license for use and redistribution of the Software, the GPL v.3 -
Most of the text deals with redistributing the program - as for running,
the license simply states that:
"
This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
permission to run the unmodified Program.
