Thanks, Jason. I was a bit miffed that your initial post was deleted & that my posts that quoted yours were also deleted without comment, but perhaps I should have been more patient. The revisions in this post (to clarify that we are allowed to share and modify .ens, .enl, .enlx, and .enf files (rather than the vague "EndNote files")) seem to be perfectly reasonable. Can you please see about having this text added to the "Terms of Use," so that we do not have to rely on mere forum messages (which may be difficult to locate and can be deleted and/or edited by the moderators)? What are our responsibilities, as customers, to ensure that styles we share are only used by other licensed EndNote users in conjunction with EndNote? It would seem to me that the files that are currently available publicly rarely (if ever) have click-through agreements & it is non-obvious how a downloader would realize that they would need to be a licensed EndNote user and to use the files only with EndNote. I would also like to see my other questions addressed--redistribution of the manual & style files to EndNote Trial users would be useful to me if working with co-authors who are not yet licensed users of EndNote and would probably improve the trial process in general. Given EndNote's continued lack of support for some word processors (e.g. OO.o) and some platforms (e.g. native Linux), it is quite sad to see that I am not explicitly able to use styles that I have purchased with third-party software for use on those platforms. I still use EndNote+MS Word on Windows for much of my editing, but I must say that many of my coauthors do not & I do use Linux for many tasks and may consider the switch to an OO.o on Linux, myself. Ideally, an EndNote license would allow you to use these files as you see fit. I may even be willing to pay a premium for the explicit ability to do so, even though I have already paid for the software, itself.
