Mostly, but not entirely, GPL. . Many modules are provided dual-license, either GPL or LGPL at your option. The headers of files in the lib directory (e.g., lib/error.c) state GPL for convenience, since the bulk of current gnulib users are GPL'd programs. But the files in the modules directory (e.g., modules/error) state the true license of each file, and when you use 'gnulib-tool --lgpl --import ', gnulib-tool either rewrites the files to have an LGPL header as part of copying them from gnulib to your project directory, or fails because the modules you requested were not licensed under LGPL. . Some of the source files in lib/ have different licenses. Also, the copy of maintain.texi in doc/ has a verbatim-copying license, and doc/standards.texi and make-stds.texi are GFDL. . Detailed copyright information follows, see debian/clscan/README in the gnulib source package for information on updating this.
