That's a valid point about the FDL and documentation. Even CreativeCommons recommends the FDL: ( http://creativecommons.org/learn/licenses/ )
_If you are interested in licensing software documentation or other supporting text for a piece of code, we recommend the GNU Free Documentation License._

I am not sure how the Board considers documentation.  I know that our website is copyrighted and must be reproduced in full with attribution and such.  I think that this license is close in spirit http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/1.0/ but then I could be utterly wrong.  I don't make decisions, I do interpretations.  

I'll cc the Board and let them know of of the issue and then make the appropriate changes.  Thanks for the catch.
