Whatever happended with the idea of have a log-like credits:namespace for this type of information?
I think that people decided that it wasn't necessary yet. This is just one more sign that it might be time.
I am uncertain if a complete namespace is really necessary. I'd settle for a single line to edit, below the summary. That would be appended to the article prior to display, in a special style (say, "<center><font size=-1 color=grey>"). It would still be in wiki-markup, for ease of linking to an external site. If there's a lot of info to put there (though I can't see why, "Based on ...,with permission" should do), we just write an article about the person/organization/etc. and link there.
Question: Should that line be only available on the first edit, and after that only to sysops? That would reduce the chance of a vandal removing the text. It shouldn't change over time anyway...
