FWIW for Maxima I have pressed for new documents to be
licensed under GPL. Having the same license for documents
and code means stuff can be freely copied back and forth.
Also, from what I can tell GPL covers all the bases for
documents; it doesn't help, in my opinion, to bring the extra
baggage of GFDL into play. Other licenses might work instead,
but, none of them are any better than GPL, from what I can tell.

I think even for trivial documents, just as for trivial programs,
it is a good idea to state the license terms. You never know
what's going to happen to the stuff you create.
