http://www.google.com/images/blogs/knol_lg.png shows a CC-by-3.0 tag. That's a BIG WIN for Wikimedia and what we do - making free content *normal and expected*. If they require contributions to be under a proper free content licence, then I'm a BIG FAN of this endeavour. Same reason Citizendium succeeding (assuming they pick a free licence) would be a big win for what we do - it's not competition, it's expanding the pool of unencumbered knowledge.
The strange thing is with possibliity to editing this by many and simultaneusly puting just one name of author. Or the idea is that only one author can edit? If so, there is no reason to have "edit" tab visible by all.. It is not clear to me, what they really want to do.
