You can safely make the assumption that all GNU software from the GNU project is free software (sometimes mistakes happen, but such always gets rectified).
A lot of GNU software uses the GPLv3+ or the AGPLv3+, but sometimes other licenses are used when it look like doing so will be tactically better at ensuring freedom.
>Gnuplot license actually conflicts with GPL
The gnuplot license is barely a free software license, but it's rather incompatible with all versions of the GPL rather than conflicts with it.
An incompatible license just means that unfortunately you can't combine gnuplot sources with say an GPLv3+'d program and distribute the combination.
Of course, you can still have gnuplot and other GPLv3+'d software on the same filesystem, as in that case there are no derivative works.
