Clarify the RSMD-5.6 recommendation meaning

[joenio]

In the RSMD checklist page here there is the sentence, copied below, for the recommendation RSMD-5.6:

• Is software explicitly cited and included in the bibliography (RSMD-5.6)?

But it doesn't say much about the meaning of bibliography in this context. What bibliography is about, is it about academic publications in general, is it publications made by the research software author, is it some specific bibliography, maybe the bibliography used to develop the research software?

With those questions in mind, if we go to the full description of RSMD-5.6 here, copied below, there is no sentence with the word bibliography, also there is mention to the words cited or included as well.

Useful ☆ Where applicable, use appropriate citation granularity level (software, software-module, software-version, code-fragment) by referring to the BibLaTeX software package specifications.

See:

https://ctan.org/pkg/biblatex-software;
https://fr.overleaf.com/learn/latex/Bibliography_management_with_biblatex

Thus, after reading the RSMD-5.6 checklist here or the full description here, I ask myself the question below:

Who is the RSMD-5.6 recommendation aimed at?

• Is the RSMD-5.6 a recommendation for a research software author?; or
• Is the RSMD-5.6 a recommendation for a paper author citing a research software?

If this question makes sense, maybe there is an opportunity to enrich the RSMD-5.6 description, what do you think?
