Yes, certainly. Everyone is welcome to use this.

The ‘author paragraph seems to be writing the prefix ‘by’, but I couldn’t find its definition, and writing a new scheme file just to override the functions and paragraph defs seems overkill. Can I localize this to my language?
Currently there's no way to localize this, but the `author` and
`author+email` functions are quite simple. The whole implementation is
here:
https://github.com/racket/scribble/blob/54606422140136dbc8f0759f2d44e757a0193ac4/scribble-lib/scribble/base.rkt#L111-L138
The "by" is added in CSS, in the SAuthorList::before rule. That you
can change with a simple custom additional CSS file.

I usually remove this with CSS as well.
