I believe in general documentation for free software should be (dual)
licensed with the same license as the software itself, it makes it
much easier to move stuff between them.  Like reusing good code
comments and doc string in the manual, reusing parts of the manual as
doc strings or comments, or even embedding sections from the manual in
the code (like using a manual section as the basis for one of the
"assistants" Lars talked about).
