Well, it would be good to have some reasons, because as far as I know,  
the CC ShareAlike license would fit this very well.  We could also just  
GPL and call it a day, but there seems to be reasons to not GPL docs,

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of  
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an  
idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps  
it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the  
possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of  
it."
