Hello,
I'm an IT manager at IAE(Institute for Advanced Engineering), a non-profit research institute in Korea.
One of my researchers asked about using the Zotero Connector Chrome extension.

Does using Chrome extensions within the institute violate the license?

Please respond.
Thank you.

Zotero and all of its component are open licensed and free to use for both commercial and non-profit research.
You can find the full ToS here: https://www.zotero.org/support/terms/terms_of_service

Relevant passage:

The Zotero research tool and server software are released for free public use under several open source licenses, primarily the AGPLv3 - see the license text included with the code for details. The source code is available at https://github.com/zotero/.
