I am not a lawyer, but the short answer is yes, of course. If you're asking whether you can use them without also providing the source code, then yes that that's also ok under GPL version2. If you don't distribute binaries, you don't have to provide source code. ... Which I believe is one of the motivations for GPL version3, which has something to say about this case.
