I'm far from a licensing expert but I personally feel that CC-A is a
better choice for most documents than GPL.

FYI, I put the Bazaar website (https://edge.launchpad.net/bzr-alldocs)
and Migration docs (https://edge.launchpad.net/bzr-migration-docs)
projects under Creative Commons - Attribution instead of GPL. Unless I'm
told otherwise, I plan to do the same for the explorer website and docs.
