This is pretty interesting and raises questions about open source. Apparently EndNote is suing the creators of Zotero over a new version of Zotero that can convert Endnote files into Zotero files that can then be freely shared. I'm curious to know how people feel about this. Does EndNote have a case? Is Zotero a Robin Hood of sorts? Or, are they destroying capitalism?

I don't know about the legality issue - but I think that companies that are closed with their standards and formats will eventually lose market share.
there is already a way to convert your endnote files to zotero pretty easily just by saving them out as text files and slurping them up again in zotero. A quick search on the web will show you how to do it.
