Hi,
I'm having trouble wrapping my head around this whole deal.
Can anyone explain to me exactly how Wikipedia could or would use a Creative Commons'd knol?
Suppose that a knol were written about some topic for which Wikipedia only had a stub. Then, if I understand the licensing of a "by" license correctly, the article could be cut and pasted from the knol into a WP article, and presumably wikified, and then become a normal article.
Is that right?
And if it is, anyone can do this, not the original author of the article? How and where would the citation to the original article be integrated into Wikipedia? Isn't it the case that Wikipedia could integrate more or less all of the content from Knols?
(I imagine there is documentation somewhere on Help: for how to integrate content from the various free licenses into Wikipedia, but I hope some will agree that the discussion is worth having in this thread.)
