Auto-retrieving meta-data from URL or DOI This may be an example of a dangerous practice: communicating over the network as a silent subtask of something else the user asks to do. Or maybe it isn't. After all, I don't know the details -- I can't reach any certain conclusions. What I am doing is extrapolating to a possible danger. That's my job ;-). So the next step is to learn some more. Could you please show us concretely what org-ref does in regard to this meta-data? What would the user specify, and what would it do in response? -- Dr Richard Stallman Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
