libfnc - anyone have used this library?

Can anyone recommend a "safe" libnfc (near field communication).
Our development team wants to start developing with NFC. It's not available in any RHEL repo's which means I can't install it, "not allowed" unless it is blessed by our Security Group.

I found these sites
https://01.org/linux-nfc/blogs/sortiz/2014/neard-0.15
http://nfc-tools.org/index.php?title=Libnfc
http://open-nfc.org/wp/

Not sure how credible these open source websites. Any inputs are greatly appreciated.
