The main thing is that it does sign your assembly to prevent tampering.

You should check the licence of the library. If you are allowed to
modify the code and rebuild it, this is an option. However, I would
recommend to get a binary build or the snk file of the library and use
that instead to prevent possible version conflicts. (E.g. a different
incompatible version of the library in the GAC on a target machine)

Andreas,
Good point on the tampering. I checked out the site and it appears to be
open source so he should be able to change the code.
