I agree that GPL is great and know that GPL applications can be commercial. The problem is that it demands to publish your application's source code which is not acceptable in most commercial applications.

But yes, as gettext site says it: libintl and libasprintf libraries are LGPL, executables and libgettextpo library are GPL.

It looks that if we will use libintl as DLL - we're OK, as it stated here: http://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html#Discussions

Am I right ?

I am not sure but I think the gettext library is LGPL, only the tools are GPL.

If it is GPL, I am happy, this shows the greatness of GPL, it forces free software.

Keep in mind that GPL application does not mean free (as in free beer) application. GPL application can be commercial.
