The GPL doesn't work but the GNU FDL (free documentation license) does.

It does rely on copyright but if there were not copyright the only thing that could be lost is credit as everything else covered in the license is something you can do by default with anything not copyrighted. Modify distribute sell or create a derivative with no way to stop anyone else from doing the same with your changes/additions if you chose to publish.
