That's not what I'm asking for. My application is already covered by the 
GNU LGPL and the documentation by the GNU FDL which I want to change. 
True, making documentation open and code close is definitly not what we 
want but if there was a license designed for documentation (and not for 
code) it could promote writing books/articles/whatever under that license. 
Wikipedia is covered by the GNU FDL because that's the only license for 
documentation but some developers don't consider it to be open source 
license so Wikipedia ends up being something between open and close source 
(though much closer to open).

See my response to Thorsten Glaser's post.
