That's a great idea.

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.html#SEC4 provides some information on how to 
use the FDL (how to use the header, etc).

There's also an FDL how to, http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-howto.html,  which 
you may find useful.

The FDL, itself, also has details on its use under the last section, 
"ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents", 
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.txt.
