macOS port of Notepad++ called out for trademark violation
"Notepad++ is now natively available for macOS, with no Wine, no emulation. A full native port for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. However, this is an independent open-source community port of Notepad++ to macOS that is not affiliated with Don Ho or the official Notepad++ team."
"Ho expressed that while he was happy to see someone create a Notepad++-like editor for macOS users, something about the project felt off, particularly regarding the use of his logo and branding."
Notepad++ remains a Windows-only application, with a third-party port for macOS recently gaining attention. Developer Don Ho clarifies that this port is unofficial and not affiliated with the original Notepad++ team. The port's website mimics the original branding, leading to confusion. While Ho initially appreciated the effort to create a Notepad++-like editor for macOS, he expressed concerns about the misleading use of his logo and name, which could misrepresent the project's independence.
