Documentation and code can have different licenses, the sole existence of various documentation licenses attests to that point. Shipping your docs under a separate licence has never been a problem before, so you don't have to worry that you can't ship documentation with code. That said, I wrote my suggestion in reply to Luke's BIP2 revival which is a more formal suggestion of a solution. Maybe you can ACK that one instead? Last, in preparation of acceptance of BIP2 I changed the licence of my BIP to be dual-licensed. Now its also available under a Creative Commons license. Have a nice day!
