Knol is basically a way for people to cut and paste and make ad money with no effort. I don't know of any good solutions, or if we even need any solutions. If we start harping on Knol then people will think we are "the man" and too uptight. "Knowledge should be free, right?"
We can and should (and, AFAIK, do) heartily support the CC-BY default license. Because that's free content, and supporting that wherever it springs up and making proper free content licenses the *expected default* for reference works is 100% in line with WMF's mission. Without us having to do the actual work!
