I strongly disagree with this recommendation.
Please *use* the GPL for documentation.
Or any other DFSG-free license (as long as it's well established and
GPL-compatible[1]).
Please do *not* use documentation-specific (and thus possibly
GPL-incompatible) licenses: documentation can be mixed with programs and
other kind of works.
[1] This more or less means Expat, X11, 2-clause BSD or 3-clause BSD...
