Open-source software is citeable output of research and development efforts. Citing software recognizes the associated investment and the quality of the result. If you use open-source software, it is becoming standard practise to recognize the work as its authors have indicated below. In turn their effort might be awarded with renewed funding for drambiguity based on the evidence of your appreciation, and it may help their individual career perspectives.

This software can be cited directly as follows:

  author = {Bas Basten and Jurgen Vinju},
  booktitle = {International Conference on Software Language Engineering (SLE)},
  year = 2011,
  publisher = {Springer},
  series = {LNCS},
}

Which automated the manual instructions found here:
