 Yes, if the author is using multiple licenses it needs to be clearly 
stated.  CC-BY-NC is OK for docs, such as html, though I'd recommend not 
using the "NC" component of it, since the GPL allows for commercial usage.

It's worth noting that the CC-BY-* licenses are GPL incompatible if any 
code is using it (html is not compiled code, so that's ok)
