FWIW: It is not recommended to license documentation with the same kind of license as source code; a lot of restrictions that apply to source code do not make any sense when it comes to documentation. When licencing a project it is good to consider a three pronged approach: 1) Licensing the main code of the project. This might be split in: 1.1) The exported library 1.2) The tools (test suites etc.) 2) Licensing the documentation 3) Licensing the included examples A typical example would be: 1) 1.1) LGPL + linking exception 1.2) GPL 2) FDL 3) Public domain Of course which licenses you choose is entirely up to you... Creative commons [1] provides an easy interface to choose licenses...
