Alan,

[reposting after fixing my email address on the list]

I would suggest for your purposes you might want CreativeCommons-NoDerivs 3.0 
Unported.

This would allow others to use the work commercially, redistribute the it with 
attribution that you specify, but would not allow them to modify it or make 
derivative works from it.

https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/3.0/deed.en_US

Alternatively, if you wished to permit derivative works, you might use 
CreativeCommons-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported:

https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/deed.en_US

There are plenty of variations at the CreativeCommonds.org site, check it out.

In any case you definitely want to put one of these on the documentation to 
prevent someone else from copyrighting your work and then suing you for 
infringement.
