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...
At the bottom of each page is the text "All text is available under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License. (See [[Copyrights]] for details.)" Copyrights links to [[WP:Copyrights]], which specifies the exact licensing terms: "with no Invariant Sections, with no Front-Cover Texts, and with no Back-Cover Texts."
At the bottom of each edit page, this is repeated.
If you'd like to change this, be aware that Wikipedia used to have invariant sections; they were removed because they were considered non-free.
It is entirely logical that if someone is contributing as part of an academic grant that they should be able to acknolwedge that.
Yes, on the side of the contributor it is logical to include an acknowledgment; on WP's side, however, it is logical to remove such non-free (because not removable) sections, which may mean removing the entire contribution.
