From 6607138f429464b28e7bae3bbc642eba774be4af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: rtfisher Date: Tue, 4 Aug 2026 20:14:29 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Correct the Flash-X attribution and add the requested citation The acknowledgments stated that Flash-X is developed and maintained by the Flash Center for Computational Science. That conflates two distinct codes. Per Flash-X's own NOTICE file, copyright is held by UChicago Argonne, LLC as operator of Argonne National Laboratory, and the Flash Center is credited only as a source of derived software. Flash-X's README describes the code as derived from FLASH, and flash-x.org does not mention the Flash Center. FLASH itself continues to be maintained separately by the Flash Center, which relocated to the University of Rochester in 2021. Also add the citation that Flash-X requests in its CITATION.cff (Dubey et al., SoftwareX 19, 101168, 2022), which was previously absent, and note that this Docker environment is unaffiliated with the Flash-X project.
