I guess the major concern I have here is: "You may distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform the Work only under the terms of this License, and You must include a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier for, this License with every copy or phonorecord of the Work You distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, or publicly digitally perform. " Wouldn't it be better to include the license in the work. Also, I am not clear on the comparative benefits of asking people who want to provide publication of portions of the documentation to quarantine them in a separate part so that they can fall under collective rather than derivative works. I.e. if I include the LedgerSMB manual in a book I write as a separate work, I don't cede my rights to restrict copying of the rest of my work just because I include it. Or am I missing something?
