But as I said before, a list of links is most likely insufficiently original, so it cannot be copyrighted in any common-law jurisdiction. For avoidance of doubt, however, a CC0-type license is best. I am not a lawyer; this is not legal advice, but it is not the unauthorized practice of law either.

A list of links is unlikely to be included in the source code of a software work. > But I thought GPL is only meant to be used for software?

Most of my presentation slides are GPLed. But being required to distribute the editable source for a specific copy of a printed book along with the book (or a written offer to provide it on demand) is a nuisance.
