The acknowledgments credited the Flash Center for Computational Science with developing and maintaining Flash-X. That conflates Flash-X with FLASH.

Evidence

  • Flash-X NOTICE: copyright © 2021 UChicago Argonne, LLC as operator of Argonne National Laboratory. The Flash Center appears only as provenance — the product "includes software developed by and/or derived from" it.
  • Flash-X README: the code "is derived from FLASH."
  • flash-x.org does not mention the Flash Center; it credits "the Flash-X team."
  • The Flash Center moved to the University of Rochester in 2021 and continues to maintain FLASH separately (2023 release).
  • Licensing differs: Flash-X is Apache 2.0.

Also

Adds the citation Flash-X requests in CITATION.cff (Dubey et al., SoftwareX 19, 101168, 2022), which was missing, plus a line clarifying that this Docker environment is unaffiliated with the Flash-X project.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

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.
