Trademark violation: Fake Notepad++ for Mac | Hacker News

Hacker News commenters said a Mac version of Notepad++ was presented in a misleading way.

Critics argued it should be renamed and clearly disclosed as an independent port, not an official release.

Others said the project was leaning on the Notepad++ brand to attract users.

The dispute highlights trademark concerns, user trust, and how open-source ports should be labeled.
