The problem is, and what Greg was getting at, is that most of these licenses 
themselves to not meet the Open Source definition (nor the Free Software 
definition for that matter). In other words, the Open Content License is not 
open and the GNU Free Documentation License is not free.

The ideal would be to have the documentation and software fall under the same 
license, but all too often the author has differing needs for the docs and 
the code.
