commit 50212037f1b3bed1e66cbe211af93e7df1ec35ec

    Updated explanations in THANKS
    
    Following commit 608cf48 (Book update on institutions in copyright
    assignment), the explanations in the THANKS file were also updated. Here,
    the university names were kept to acknowledge their constructive role in
    the developers work, but the discussion about copyright was removed. We'll
    test this here and if it is later agreed, we can follow the same style in
    the book: acknowledging the role of our host institutions, mainly for the
    environment and support they provided to us (if indeed we feel they did!).
