Yes, Cairo is dual-licenced under both the LGPL and MPL - you are free
to use Cairo under the terms most acceptable to you. Basically you are
free to use Cairo as you like, and are only obligated to share the
changes you make to Cairo, inform your users that you have used Cairo
and how they may obtain the source (including any of your changes) and
not to impose further restrictions upon the Cairo source code.

The finer details of how are covered in the few thousands words of
COPYING-MPL-1.1 and COPYING-LPGL-2.1
