Is the GPL an appropriate license for documentation, or would the GFDL be more appropriate?

For what it's worth, the Bison man page on my machine has no license on it.  I don't know whether any other GNU 
software that comes with a man page puts a license on the man page; perhaps they don't care enough about man pages, as 
opposed to Texinfo documents, to bother with a license.  bison.texinfo is licensed under the GFDL:
