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.
If Google commit to requiring a proper free licence for all content, I'd strongly recommend we publicly support this endeavour.
