GPL works just great for documentation

Dual-licensing all the code under GPLv3 and GFDL wouldn't be a maintenance burden though. And since the FSF requires copyright assignments, this should be easy. What would be wrong with this solution? Would having the code available under a GFDL licence grant any undesirable options to anyone?

If the documentation was available under the GPL then others would be able to distribute it without including the propaganda that the GFDL forces you to leave in.
