Having said that your argument appears to have missed the point, since this has nothing to do with patents on React itself.

Can you explain this? It's precisely about that.

The worst thing that happens if you use React and subsequently sue Facebook is that you lose the license to any patents they hold on React. If there aren't any, then you literally lose nothing.



No, you are right, sorry.

I thought it removed the grant for a broader range of FB patents, but I see now that isn't the case.
