GMU sued by Reuters over Zotero
Peter Murray writes: “Thomson Reuters is suing George Mason University to stop distribution of the newest version of Zotero, a Firefox browser plug-in for managing citation data. Reuters is claiming (PDF file) that GMU is violating the terms of its license agreement by including a function in Zotero that will convert citation styles from its proprietary EndNote format to a format that can be used by Zotero. Reuters is also asking for $10 million in damages for destroying the EndNote customer base. Since GMU is a state institution, the Commonwealth of Virginia is also named in the suit.”...Disruptive Library Technology Jester, Sept. 27; Courthouse News Service
