That is not true. Many documents, books and other educational materials are published under some form of a GNU license. True that there are other licenses for documents but many authors that choose GNU licensing for their work do so to show support for the GNU effort. There are things about publishing documents under GNU licenses that I don't like, but do this because it helps to raise awareness of GNU and makes it easier to introduce other GNU works to people.
