I don't get why an academic journal would be so eager to adopt the role of "IP enforcement agent" for this software company

I have no knowledge about the underlying validity of the IP claims, but a full retraction of two papers b/c of unproven allegations of improper software licensing seems like a disproportionate result that is harmful to the advancement of science https://t.co/nyF5VK9m8G

Maybe my perspective is skewed by reading law review articles with (no exaggeration) 600 footnotes, but I’d much rather have all the references. If you don’t want to read them, it’s easy to skip over. It’s not like there’s a shortage of available PDF space.
Journals requesting authors decrease the number of cited papers to meet some arbitrary threshold for a particular article style certainly seems like scholarly misconduct
