@nwlandry let me know when you are done and I will approve this.

(Are we removing the HypernetX and NetworkX acknowledgments simply because we no longer have code copied from them or for other reasons? thx)

@thomasrobiglio ready for review! At this point, we have rewritten the code that we were using from other libraries (I could be wrong about this) so I thought we could simplify our license.

That's what I thought, thank you :)
