One thing to look out for, I guess, is what licence is the journal released 
under. It cc-by-sa 4.0 I think you will have the journal to back you up.

Normally code (and data) should be attached to paper. But in the past this has 
not been done and only nice reviewers such as your self has asked for it. So 
thank you.
