is "Notepad" a bigco IP project name?

[JeremyHerrman]

yes, microsoft does hold a trademark for notepad. As litigious as MS is I'm pleasantly surprised they've left notepad++ alone.

Unfortunately anthropic is actively eroding community goodwill in regards to potential IP conflicts:

I made "qNotepad" in college, it's been on GitHub forever, never gotten any DMCAs or anything. Maybe they don't care that deeply?

Microsoft has a lot of trademark meant to protect them from agression rather than attack themselves

If MS can go after notepad++ then Bjarne Stroustrup can go after C#?

[doctorpangloss]

Haha the better question is can the notepad++ guy go after notepad++ (for mac)?

[giancarlostoro]

The name C++ is not trademarked, only the logo iirc.
