From the acknowledgements section (yes, there is one) on Kuru:

Both out of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuru_(disease) and annoying as hell to track down specific revisions, except in this case, because the copyrighted text is the base for the whole damn article. Literally the first edit, and its stuck around since 2004. The timbury one can just be wiped, he's a user who contributed it under the GFDL, the report one is more troublesome, did she give permission for GFDL, or just wikipedia? its non-free if its just permission for us. This needs some fixing, probably some oversight as well.
Any thoughts on someone coming up with a method to identify and flag or template articles to be reviewed that have an acknowledgement section, something used 'with permission' or copyright notices?

So does the entire article have to be rewritten? Or what? I see the acknowledgements but don't understand the implications.
