Michael,
I don't know if you ever got your question about licensing answered, but I emailed licensing AT gnu.org because I had the same sorts of questions. Dave Turner answered the same day (!), and basically said the same thing as Andrea Glorioso: bundling GPL software and non-GPL (e.g., CC licensed or whatever) non-software (e.g., documentation) is not a problem. A direct quote:
'Yep, Michael Olsen is clearly confused in that message. Merely
distributing CC-licensed documentation with GPL software is not a
problem -- there's no derivative work being created there. The GPL
permits this under the "mere aggregation" clause, and CC-SA under its
"Collective Work" clause.
Thus, sounds like you are free and clear.
Dan
