Licenses in Knol

If I use an attribution licence, do I have any say over the size & positioning of the attribution. For example, a 6pt font attribution tucked away at the bottom of a page is unsatisfactory - while a 14pt attribution at the top of a page may not be. I genuinely don't know the answer to this so I'd appreciate if anyone can clarify.

I did at one time use an attribution licence on my knols and I would consider doing so again if there was some clarity about this.

One thing that knol might do to help with this is to supply a tool on each knol with an attribution licence, that lets the author enter some parameters about this. The tool might even generate an attribution graphic that could be added to any web page that uses the corresponding work.

How can Knol writers use the trademarked Knol logo? I searched for an answer without success. The purpose is to prepare templates in which cut-and-paste headers and general illustration can be added to any Knol. Can we copy the logo for use in this fashion?

If yes, can we use the copy outside of the four corners of the Knol system, e.g., at other websites?

Why is there not all the licences from creative commons?

Can you please add an option for releasing all copyright? It's preferable to me to place my Knols into the public domain. It's possible to state this in a comment or something, but I'd like to have the license info be accurate.
Thanks!

We tried the moderation system, in the context of copyright and derivative works. See this thread: http://groups.google.com/group/knol-users/browse_thread/thread/1b1cf817cfa4cebe?hl=en

Summary:

1. Many authors would like to retain copyright, allowing them to republish in another medium without giving others that ability.

2. Copyright law may cause problems when edits are submitted via the collaboration mechanism. Such works are "derivative works" and are jointly copyrighted by the original author and the submitter (we suspect, IANAL). This would potentially prevent the original author from publishing in an alternate medium with the submitted edits.

3. Unmoderated collaboration is particularly concerning, for obvious reasons, but even with moderated collaboration there is a problem: there is no way to email change suggesters, so you can't easily get a copyright transfer from them.

4. There is no warning provided by Knol when article owners accept changes, that they have now created a derivative work partly owned by another.

5. Article owners could select "All Rights Reserved" and then link (in the article) to an alternate license which licenses edits only if suggesters agree that the derivative works become the property of the original author. We are uncertain whether a published license like this exists. It would be helpful if Google would supply one, because we believe this will be a common problem among authors that might make their living writing.

Many users are importing articles from Wikipedia. It should be forbidden. Wikipedia articles are licensed under GFDL (old version) and it is not compatible with Creative Commons licenses.

1. So if I start an openly-collaborative Knol with ads, I get all the revenue and other contributors get nothing? That doesn't seem fair.

2. Since the content is Creative Commons, anyone can just copy another CC Knol and release it with ads, so are there going to be millions of copies of the exact same article posted by different people trying to make ad revenue off it?

3. Why is there no share-alike option?

While it's nice to have the ability to select CC licenses, the selection is too narrow. I myself don't feel comfortable writing under either the attribution version (which allow derivatives to be closed) or under the attribution-non commercial one (as I'm not against commercial use). Why not the middle term of attribution-share alike, which I like the most? It allows derivatives and commercial usage, but requires anyone using the work to also release the derivative produced under the same conditions of allowing derivatives and commercial usage by others.
