I'm not sure what you mean by "for personal use" here. Meld is
licensed under the GPLv2 or later, so you can use Meld's code under
the terms of that license. Specifically, if your project is also GPLv2
or later then you can make use of Meld's code in that project. I don't
want to get into details of how the GPL works, but you should be able
to find plenty of resources explaining the conditions and requirements
for reusing GPLed code.
