What some people don't seem to realize is that gettext is not just library, but a complete toolset for managing translations. The license split just reflects that. Maybe it's overkill for the ~dozen error messages in libusbx, but take a peek into /usr/share/locale and you'll be hoping translators will be lazy ;-/ Some languages use characters which probably cannot be displayed by the font you use in your text editor. Sounds like fun to maintain?
