Whatcha mean "becoming"? Lispers have been blurring the line between
data and code for the last half-century. My package, apt-dpkg-ref, is
a document written in Common Lisp that outputs LaTeX and HTML. It's
released under the GPL currently, but I briefly considered the FDL and
decided that I really couldn't call it entirely a document. (Also I
wanted to avoid all the hairy license issues that seem to be arising
now).
