Use Open Publication License, similar to GPL.

http://opencontent.org/openpub/

"OpenContent is freely available for modification, use, and redistribution 
under a license similar to those used by the Open Source / Free Software 
community. In plain English, the license relieves the author of any liability 
or implication of warranty, grants others permission to use the Content in 
whole or in part, and insures that the original author will be properly 
credited when Content is used. It also grants others permission to modify and 
redistribute the Content if they clearly mark what changes have been made, 
when they were made, and who made them. Finally, the license insures that if 
someone else bases a work on OpenContent, that the resultant work will be 
made available as OpenContent as well. "
