The problem with that is the GPL and CC-A are mutually incompatible. It
would be a copyright violation, therefore, for a third party to take a
part of one work, derive a new version of the other work from that part
(e.g. by transferring a piece of program text to website documentation,
or vice versa), and redistribute the result. Hopefully the intention of
the copyright holders is not to prevent such actions.
