    Hi,

    I am currently making use of Notepad++, it's really a nice tool and I like it.
    While I have some doubts on the GPL of Notepad++.
    When I look into the source code of Notepad++, I find that it is using TinyXML for access of data from
    XML file, but it is not under GPL.

    It is just a kind remind and I hope it helps, because I really think that Notepad++ is a good editor.

    I am looking forward to your replies.

    Best Regards,
    Ken

      TinyXML is ZLIB license, iirc, and AFAIK it's perfectly fine including projects using the ZLIB license in GPL projects. Doesn't mean that TinyXML suddenly falls under the GPL license, though.
