Hoi, It is not Knol who is "stealing" from Wikipedia contributors. It is people who upload to Knol who do this.. Once people are aware that you can not copy content from Wikipedia to Knol, you may find that the tables are turned because you CAN copy content to Wikipedia...
Please do not paint Knol in a negative light, it does not deserve this. Again, people who copy to Knol are wrong, that is no problem of the license selected for this project, Thanks, GerardM

No read the Terms of service "8. License to Google." is not compatible with the GFDL. Same reason you can't upload GFDL content to youtube.
That's the part you're never going to be able to get around however much legalese you through around.
Nathan, you need to remove the content immeadiately.

Amazing how the Knol, hailed as a competitor to Wikipedia, has so quickly began stealing content from Wikipedia's contributors, faking the license terms, and essentially plagiarizing en masse.
