The important part here is what means "use a software package to create
scientific data you publish"?

In broad terms that would include the kernel you use (you can hardly
produce data without), your editor, the compiler you used to compile
your programs into binaries, the xcalc you used to check the numbers
sum up, and so on.

I do not see why that should be different for example for the
typesetting package or the computer algrebra system you use to do
some matrix inversions.
