I don't believe that he is naive. It looks like he wants to use the Notepad++ brand authority to capture the notepad++ macos market (which is big!) Thus he is infringing on a trademark for his own benefit.

> capture the notepad++ macos market

Is it big?

Notepad++ is big in the Windows world but I am not certain that it is automatically big on Mac. They have much more Mac-native feeling editors like TextMate, Nova, Cot, even SublimeText feels more macOS-ishy than Notepad++

I am on Linux, Notepad++ is not a name of concern on here at all and if it ever came to Linux most people wouldn't notice.

If you're in the Windows world that might seem like an improbability given how big it is there, but trust me, it's not a well known name anywhere else.

    "I am on Linux, Notepad++ is not a name of concern on here at all and if it ever came to Linux most people wouldn't notice."

    Strong disagree. The thing I miss in linux most is notepad++ or something as capable and usable (open for suggestions, but chances are I already tried them)
