That feels so violating. Who are a company to reap the rewards of someone's work whilst denying them their platform? Disgraceful.

Disgraceful? Notepad++ is free software. The free software movement considers the right of all users to modify and redistribute software for any purpose, without obligation or restriction (other than respecting those rights for other users,) to be an unqualified moral good.
