Notepad++ is an awesome product. For some years it's the only
text/programming editor I've used. It's also GPL-licensed (ugh).

Noting my disgust with Stallman, I asked the developer to release future
versions of Notepad++ under a public domain, BSD or MIT license, and his
response was:

"I have no problem with necrophilia. However,"

Then he closed the issue as completed.

Boo!
