Hi, I was looking on the Microsoft store and saw that this "company" seems to be taking a lot of free software and publishing it on the Microsoft store and selling it, ReText included.

They rebranded it to "Book Pad Pro", but still use a screenshot from ReText (and you can even see it says ReText in the screenshot)

This is the store page: https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9P4R79GC8T68

I'm not sure if you can do much, but I thought I would bring this to your attention anyways.

Thank you for the heads up!

I don't mind any forks as long as they don't violate GPL. In case they did (e.g. removed the original copyright notices), maybe I would file a complaint with Microsoft.

If someone downloads that app and ends up here (maybe by searching for "Book Pad Pro"), I would be curious to know what modifications they did, if any.
