They've now got a click-through contract. Gripes on their forums.

Very interesting – and good job of sleuthing. Sounds as if they’re trying to close the barn door. And letting a stale update notice make it seem as if the door was closed years ago.

I got the impression that many of those styles were contributed by Endnote users, which makes you wonder about the status of those styles as exclusive property of one company.

In a post on his own blog, Richard Wallis notes:

Following that link to Endnote export styles [link] you end up on a page containing the following words: "EndNote output styles are provided solely for use by licensed owners of EndNote and with the EndNote product."

What's interesting is the fact that this sentence was recently (within the last 8 months) added to the site. The January 13th snapshot of that page in the Wayback Machine doesn't have that sentence. I wonder when it was added. In both cases (the current page and the Wayback Machine snapshot), the note at the bottom says "This page was last modified on: November 4, 2005" -- I would disagree.
