What about encouraging the FreeBSD Documentation License?  The 
page above says it's non-copyleft but compatible w/ the GFDL. 
This seems to match the Python license philosophy, which is also 
non-copyleft but (after various painful contortions before my 
involvement w/ the PSF started) compatible w/ the GPL.

Just a thought... I don't know much about documentation licenses.
