The GNU maintainers manual says this, in the "License Notices"
section:
Documentation files should have license notices also.
Manuals should use the GNU Free Documentation License. [...]
Based on that, I doubt we need to ask anyone for further
guidance.
I'm not really a huge fan of the GFDL--it's not a free software
license--but it's the GNU standard license for documentation.
