Every digital camera profiling application I know, with the exception of those designed to work with their own chart (e.g. QP Color 201 chart), work with at least one of the ColorChecker chart family.
Since X-Rite makes the SG charts very consistently, these other software vendors simply measured their copy of the SG chart to get reference values.
I think X-Rite should provide reference values, but the workaround is easy enough that it is not a big problem.
