Depends on what "Linux docs" you are talking about.

The stuff under Documentation/ in your local kernel source is GPLv2
The manpages here state "GPLv2+ and GPL+ and BSD and MIT and Copyright only and IEEE"
The stuff on TLDP is GFDL 1.2 by default, but others apply to various parts
The book by our esteemed editor and others is Creative Commons Attribuution-ShareAlike 2.0

I'm sure there are countless others, going all the way from public domain to completely closed.
