Clarification on the Notepad++ Trademark Issue

4 hours ago

The trademark infringement issue involving Notepad++ has been resolved after the project in question removed all unauthorized uses of the trademark.
Notepad++ author Don Ho emphasizes that while the GPL license allows forks and ports, endorsing them with the 'Notepad++' trademark is not permitted due to security and maintenance concerns, such as potential backdoors or reputation damage from issues in external projects.
Examples of user emails from the past three days highlight the need for clarification, reiterating that ports are welcome but cannot be endorsed to protect the project's integrity.
