No License! (Suggest FDL?)

There is no license included in the tree, as far as I can tell.
How about using the GNU Free Documentation License (FDL)?
There actually is already a license, in the readme.
Licence
This book is available for free, but what I've written remains mine.
Translations: as long as the result made is available for free (you can have ads) I welcome translations.
Other use: contact me; as long as your intentions are good I'd be happy to figure out something. I'm not looking to make money from the book but I don't want it to be republished without my permission.
But I would prefer the license to be changed to something more standard and specific, with more details on what “available for free” and “remains mine” mean. The FDL that @globalcitizen suggested looks like it gives more freedoms than @mixu intends, such as verbatim redistribution under the same license. Maybe one of the Creative Commons licenses would fit best.
The specific notes about translations and “other use: contact me” are helpful, and should be included in addition to a reference to a standard license.
