LOL. I did the same but I didn't trust the result.

find gettext-0.14.1/ -name '*\.c' | xargs licensecheck >gettext-licensecheck.txt

The result which shows that parts of gettext are GPL and other parts are 
LGPL is attached.

Moreover:
# licensecheck kdesdk/kbabel/common/libgettext/*
kdesdk/kbabel/common/libgettext/fstrcmp.c: GPL (version 2 or later)
kdesdk/kbabel/common/libgettext/fstrcmp.h: GPL
kdesdk/kbabel/common/libgettext/pofiles.h: no_copyright
kdesdk/kbabel/common/libgettext/pofiles.ll: no_copyright
kdesdk/kbabel/common/libgettext/system.h: GPL
kdesdk/kbabel/common/libgettext/tokens.h: no_copyright
kdesdk/kbabel/common/libgettext/xmalloc.c: GPL

I don't think there can be much doubt about the license.

Regards,
Ingo
