        So far the author seems to have been on the right side of history. You can see some of them in the N++ update news:

        https://notepad-plus-plus.org/news/

        They seem to be pro-Ukraine (or at least anti-Russian invasion) and anti-Chinese authoritarianism. I can’t bring myself to have any beef with either of those positions, really.

        At one point they also sold a thong.

        They had some messages regarding a free Ukraine a few updates back. It’s a free app so if he wants to include that in his update message that’s fine to me.

        Every few updates the read me, description or something contains some kind of statement on various world issues going on.

        Search the hit hub issues for notepad++ for the word political. People complain each time.

        I don’t care if he is on the rights side of the issue or note, just don’t like it popping up in software.

        I thought my installer was infected the one time by to giant wall of default text when I opened it.
