Just to clarify a little , CC by SA is also a copyright license. The only difference is that these licenses allow creators to communicate which rights they reserve, and which rights they "waive" for the benefit of recipients or other creators.
There is a common miunderstanding that Wikipedia articles are not copyrighted and all free software are not copyrighted, which is not in actual.
And also Google cannot put another copyright for their articles in any wiki, because they are already CC by SA on Wikipedia.

A few more stats on Google and Ta. Wiki:
no of google articles during sep 2009-Aug 2010 = 1240 Total no of articles created during sep 2009- 15 Aug 2010 = ~5000 % of google articles = ~25%
Google article creation was stopped at this point.
Total no of articles created during 15 Aug 2010 - 4 Feb 2010 = ~4000
The last few months Ta wiki growth has been accelerating, so can't compare with the time period during which the google project was active
