Text contributed to Wikipedia must be GFDL with no invariant sections.
You can have other licenses, but you must have that one. Editors
claiming exemption from this have usually had their contributions
deleted and their account blocked, for what I would have hoped were
obvious reasons.

I was never shown the "no invariant sections" statement when I
contributed my past entries, and to change the license would be to
relicence everyones contributions...
It is entirely logical that if someone is contributing as part of an
academic grant that they should be able to acknolwedge that.
