Zotero survives lawsuit

In Murphy's Law, October 2008, the library let you know about a great research tool called Zotero, but with the caveat that it might have a limited lifespan--Thompson Reuters Inc. had sued Zotero's George Mason University makers for allegedly reverse engineering its EndNote software, thereby violating terms of the party's licensing agreement.


Well, the lawsuit's over. Last Friday, a Virginia Circuit Court judge dismissed the action--so feel free to go crazy with Zotero!


More information on Zotero and the lawsuit, including links to court documents, is available here.
