Only if the police were the ones responsible for setting speed limits *and* were telling people that "You should keep 40 if you want to get consistent green lights here".
I find it quite handy to be able to have source code snippets in the documentation (even when these "snippets" a long enough to be copyrightable and thus subject to the license), or generate documentation from the source code.
And if you'd bothered to read the quote in the parent post, you might've noticed the quote about not using CC-licenses because they're not compatible with the GPL. So pray tell, why the hypocrisy of advising against using a CC license for documentation (based on not being GPL compatible) when the GFDL isn't GPL compatible either?
