I would also consider how you wish to distribute the document. For
example, if it is to be distributed with the software then you may wish
to take into consideration the license of the software and make them
compatible. Or if you wish the software and documentation to be part of
a larger collection of software, say a GNU/Linux distro, then you may
wish to look at their licensing requirements for any future packaging
for that distro.
I second all of the above. If you'd like your documentation distributed
with the software, consider license compatibility. For example, one day
you may want to add a Help function to the software and copy and past
bits of your manual into the Help. As for distribution with a GNU/Linux
distro, consider talking to the Debian legal team. It is not easy to
please the Debian legal team, but if you do, you can be very confident
that you'll please every other distro. In addition, Debian legal is
knowledgeable and helpful.
Cheers,
Daniel.
