It's not different under copyright law though. If you want to grant
the same freedoms, you can use the same license for *all* your
software: programs, documentation, music, images, data, ...

The GPL talks about "program" and "source code"; so long as you make
it clear what you consider those terms to apply to, the GPL should not
be problematic to apply to any copyrighted work if you want.
