If I accepted the results as verified then I would need to put in another
great amount of effort into writing a second theoretical paper to be
submitted to an international nuclear journal to determine if that
international journal considered Sage to be verified.
Additionally it may be a bit strange if being asked to
provide a Maple *** for your work ...

In my experience, being asked for a Maple *** does not occur. Reviewers
use whatever symbolic math program they like best, Maple, Mathematica or
what ever, for verification. The submitter never knows what tools are being
used for verification. But in my experience, verification is done by
reviewers who find minor small faults or omissions for improvement of the
manuscript. In my experience, it is best to follow submission guidelines and
submit the manuscript in the lingua franca of scientific journals, a
Microsoft Word document. That requires hand translation of Maple results
using Equation Editor, a labour of love. Maybe more automatic tools exist
today. In the event that the reviewers require assistance in verification,
the editor can always ask the submitter for a Maple ***. I would willingly
submit a Maple *** with no fear that the journal would require
verification that I paid for my copy of Maple. It is a matter of ethics. You
do not expect a journal to fault you on such a non-scientific issue.
Properly done science is value free, ethically. Likewise, I would no expect
a journal would ask me to submit a blood test to determine if I wrote my
theoretical nuclear paper under the influence of Ritalin, an intelligence
enhancing drug. Paul Erdos wrote 1,700 math papers under the influence of
dextroamphetamine and no one complained that he worked unethically. I don't
know, if Paul Erdos had worked with Maple, maybe he could have published
many more papers in his lifetime. Albert Einstein published only 55 papers
in his lifetime. Maybe if he had access to personal computers during his
lifetime, he could have been much more prolific than he was.

I'm just a beginner and that's just my opinion.
