In fact, you'll have to apply the license yourselves. But if you can 
make it today, I can hold the registration in the queue and waiting 
tomorrow.

About the licensing you can get information here:
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html#DocumentationLicenses

I think the GNU FDL is a good option.

An important issue is the ackowledgment of this choice by any authors 
of the documentation.
