I was refering to "... same licence as Ruby(See COPYING) or LGPL ...". So the
whole license tag should be something like

License: Public Domain and ((GPLv2+ or Ruby) or LGPLv2+)

I agree that the modifications made to files from gettext are non-trivial and
that gettext is more or less dead. So it is not a problem for this package.

Before this package is approved, I would certainly like to make the License
clear, otherwise everything is ok.
