Not sure where you got your information, but our documentation is mostly
released under the GPL, IIRC.  I'm not sure why you need to release them
under different licenses, though.

At any rate, I have no problem triple licensing my portions as GPL, GFDL
(no front- or back-cover text, no invariant sections), and CC-BY-SA to
the Xubuntu project.  Actually I've been meaning to change the xfmedia
documentation to CC-BY-SA for some time now, but I keep forgetting...
