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!
