So, in the FAQ on creativecommons.org, and on the "Licenses explained"
page, the GNU Free Documentation License is recommended for software
documentation.

However, there's no explanation for why this is so. It'd be nice to
have a page saying why the FDL is recommended, and especially why it's
recommended over any of the Creative Commons licenses.
