Hello:

I had someone ask me today whether https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ is covered by GNU GPL or GNU FDL, and honestly I wasn't sure, as there is actually no clear indication. There's places where FDL is listed (https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/media/uapi/fdl-appendix.html), but that particular instance appears to only cover items in "Linux Media Infrastructure Userspace API"), or at least that's the implication.

Would it be fair to say documentation is "GNU GPLv2 unless otherwise indicated?" And if that's not the case (because I'm not sure GPLv2 is a sane license for documentation), would it make sense to clearly indicate the documentation license somewhere in the rendered docs?

Best,
Konstantin
