http://directory.fsf.org/gettext.html and the COPYING file that came with my 
copy of gettext-0.14 suggests that this is not the case.

A very clean solution would be if Qt got itself a gettext capability. Next 
best bet would be to get permission from the gettext authors - bad if they 
say no though. Other than that, it looks arguable either way.
