Maybe because catgets(3) is BSD licensed and comes by default on the BSD systems that blackbox was developed on. gettext is GPL'd which by its nature takes away some benefits of the BSD license. (On that note, I know that other important add-ons to blackbox are GPL'd. Personally, I think that since the original project is BSD licensed, that it should all stay BSD licensed.) Jeremy C.
