If you only have a look onto the content, GFDL or one of the CC would
be surely better.If you have a look onto e.g. inline JS you would need
a real software license. I think with GPL3 its getting a bit better
here in this special case but not this much. However, its not an
optimal decision I'm sure to use GPL here, but the templates are
completely changeable to fit users purposes.
