Personally I'm fine with it for anything I've written, but remember that
this isn't a "group" decision.  The Right Thing[tm] to do here is to
look at the authorship information for each module's documentation and
contact all of those authors individually.  You can't relicense the docs
for a particular module until all its authors agree, unless you want to
rewrite substantial portions of it from scratch.
