I don't know whether we actually have a choice. The documentation is
(partly) built by copying text verbatim from GPL-licensed .m and .cc
files.
I'm no expert here, but I'd say that makes the document a derivative of
the GPL-licensed files, meaning that the document must be licensed under
GPL. And this means that we _must_ ship the source used for building it.
