Many thanks for your answer. Here are some clarifications.
It concerns my own docs,  published with an ALV2 license. I could have the
opportunity to work on it with a  group, a little as ODFAuthors do. So, the
different chapters would be released with a list of authors/contributors
and the copyright name would be the name of the group. The licence is still
ALv2.0.
I would insert a notice in the files, with clear instructions for third
parties (companies, schools, administrations, editors, etc.) which would
reuse and modify the work, so that they know exactly how  to do,  if they
modify the work  to fit it to their own specific needs and distribute it on
their own Intranet or in a printed version. I would avoid to receive too
much questions, and would try to solve this issue in a clear notice
explaining the procedure.
It's also important for people who will join to this effort of
documentation. I think they have the right to understand clearly how the
work they will produce could be reused to decide whether they participate
or not.
