Ranking risks from more to less likely,
1. An expected development of this sort of political message is blocking access to the tool's website to users from some countries, either by the website owners or by the relevant authorities.
2. Wiping people's files as part of open-source-as-political-message is less common, but not unheard of: https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/big-sabotage-famous-npm-package-deletes-files-to-protest-ukraine-war/ https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/big-sabotage-...
3. Using or even advertising Notepad++ in Russia is probably not dangerous yet. Don't know about China.
