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:
