Short answer yes and yes.

Background:
squid started its life doing dns lookups via a farm of helper processs.
The core interface within squid stayed the same when the new rfc1035
code was directly implemented. the only change was that the helper farm
went away and calls to the new library were used. I don't know how
closely the library corresponds to resolve(3).

Look at
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/squid/squid/lib/rfc1035.c
?rev=1.1.1.2.2.1.6.5&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup for the
source.

It's pure GPL, not LPGL.
