If Zotero is slurping up these Endnote-created .ens files without users
even knowing about it, that would be one thing.
But if .ens files can be created by many people, and if users can use
Zotero to import any of these .ens files, and if users _choose_ to use
Zotero to import Endnote-created

perhaps you've signed a contract saying you wouldn't (did George
Mason? Perhaps, if they have an EndNote license).
I'm guessing that GMU-paid people wrote the code in question—they have
quite a team now. But it would an interesting legal question if
outside people had done it as part of the Open Source process and GMU
had merely agreed to include the code.

Am I wrong, though, in thinking that a clean-room recreation of the Zotero
code that parses .ens files would be legal (although the use of ISI-provided
.ens files would still be, at best, questionable)? If so, I'd like to
encourage everyone who might be interested in working on such a project to
