I think you did mean "graphiviz libraries" something like .so or .dll.

It seems like you can't do that with CPL 1.0.

However, if your program is dynamically linked to graphiviz libraries,
it will be ok. You don't have to public your source code.

From
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-cplfaq.html

Do I need to include the source code for such Program with the object
code distribution?
No. But you do need to include a statement that the source code is
available from you and information on how to obtain it.
