There's a Gnu Free Documentation License
http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/fdl.html

and the Creative Commons Licenses
http://creativecommons.org/about/licenses/meet-the-licenses

we might be happier of our documentation was under one of those.  When
the Gnu Free Doc license came out, a whole lot of people switched to
it from have GPL'd their documentation -- so apparantly this is
doable.  I am not sure on the details of how, though.  Anybody know?
