 House of Gebauer - Coat of Arms
You can adopt any arms you choose and use them however you want (unless you infringe on someone's trademark, which is an entirely different subject that has been beaten to death on this newsgroup so please don't ask about it); but you have no particular right to those arms or any other.
Coats of arms are described in a technical language, devised over the centuries by heralds, with the aim of describing even the most complex coats concisely and unambiguously.
This can be taken to the extent of becoming a rebus puzzle -- the Borough of Congleton bears Sable, on water in base barry-wavy azure and argent, on a tun between two conger eels argent, a lion statant-guardant Or, which decodes to Conger-Leo-Tun.

 What is Jamtland
Jamtland is both a historical province (landskap) and a modern county (län) in the middle of Sweden and on the border of Norway.
The seal is in fl, is the one given to Jämtland by the King of Norway late in the 1200's or in the early 1300's (the oldest surviving sample is from 1303).
The seal was given to the province to emphasize that it was under the rule of Norway, and it is therefor somewhat ironic that such an emblem should be used by a movement seeking independence (not unification with Norway).

 Somewhere in Tyme - Learning Center Coat of Arms for Individual Countries Page
Although coats of arms for towns and countries have been traced back to the twelve tribes of Israel, in early medieval days the symbols representing a country were those of the sovereign of that country.
Thus coats of arms for a country could be altered somewhat by each succeeding monarch.
