I'm not sure of your reasoning behind creating this "issue". |
Chameleon vs Frog fight :) |
It's informational. I'm just wanting the owner of the project to know that this exists, in case it's a legal issue. You can ignore this issue thread. |
If you think that's bad, have you seen the branding of the (totally unaffiliated) Android app? This kind of stuff is so common that the developer has already stopped caring about it. |
@rdipardo, thanks for chiming on this. I did not see that application or logo. I could easily see why people would be confused into thinking that this application was affiliated with the creator and this project. This line from the description of the Android app concerns me: "Notepad++ Editor app is a great application that is also installable on PC. The SutraGroups has developed it and, the popularity of Notepad++ Editor software is increasing awesomely. " There appears to be no effort to make it clear to the visitors that the Android app in question is in no way affiliated with the real Notepad++ project. This in itself is a violation of the developer terms and conditions for publishing of apps. The current play store policy concerning misrepresentation is as follows: Misrepresentation
Interestingly, though, I couldn't find the app on the official play store. |
I'm closing this issue for now. I didn't realize there was a community forum, but I will not be joining it to post about this issue. |
Found in docs for editing component of the PyQt project. Too similar of a logo to Notepad++ project, especially considering the nature of the software it's depicted for.

I tried to reach out to the maintainer/creator of Notepad++ (Don Ho?) but email was reject due to "inactivity".
So here I file an issue instead.
