Given the LGPL license, you may do really a lot. You can disassemble,
cut into pieces, modify, sell, buy, and do a lot more with udig.
The license permits you to do that in the shadows, not returning the
code to the community, if you don't want to.
To answer your question really, the license permits to take udig and
use it as an sdk (which it is) to create your own GIS, also adapting
the adk to your needs.
