I predict that some enterprising souls will quickly "create" knols by
using GFDL text from Wikipedia, thus getting paid for the work of
others. After that, other writers will take the same text and modify it
to improve its popularity, creating dozens of variations on the same text.

The text from the knol could then be copied back into Wikipedia (assuming
licences still compatiable) and become a viscous circle.
