So the GFDL is a very poor license for manuals for free programs. I recommend that you use the same license as the program has.
* For GPL'ed programs, licence the manual under the GPL. With a licenses like the GPL which refers explicitly to "source code", put a note next to the manual's copyright statement to clarify what "source code" means in this context. For instance, if you wrote a manual in texinfo form, you would write: For the purpose of applying the GPL to this document, I consider "source code" to refer to the texinfo source. If you wrote it in html form, you'd write: For the purpose of applying the GPL to this document, I consider "source code" to refer to the html source.
* If you don't mind people making proprietary versions of your manual, use a permissive, non-copyleft license such as the X11 license. (The X11 license explicitly mentions documentation.)
Ca, c'est dans le cas d'un manuel qui accompagne un logiciel. Dans le cas de Sylvestre effectivement, il faut mieux aller voir du côté de Open Publication License et CC by-sa
