Oh cool, an in-memory lightweight NOSQL database. In the context of pervasive computing I can see its multiple use cases. A embedded device with limited computing capabilites would be able to store, process and act on sensor data in near real-time.

Can this database be also embedded in applications?

The source code is there for anyone to do whatever they like with it. Of course you could use this in-process and strip away the server logic, it's even split into source files to make that easy (nosql.[hc] are the files that implement the key-value store, everything else handles the fcgi requests).
