- nolok 2mo agoMicrosoft has a lot of trademark meant to protect them from agression rather than attack themselves
- beAbU 2mo agoIf MS can go after notepad++ then Bjarne Stroustrup can go after C#?
- giancarlostoro 2mo agoThe name C++ is not trademarked, only the logo iirc.
- doctorpangloss 2mo agoHaha the better question is can the notepad++ guy go after notepad++ (for mac)?
- giancarlostoro 2mo agoI made "qNotepad" in college, it's been on GitHub forever, never gotten any DMCAs or anything. Maybe they don't care that deeply?
