Wow. Didnāt they say just a couple of days ago that theyāll keep the patent stuff in? Obviously, the outrage was bigger than Facebook could handle. Very good news, indeed. Thanks for sharing.
One step forward, two steps back.
Why is it two steps back?
Thereās no patent grant.
And does other MIT libraries issue patent grants? And is there even a react patent?
shout out to all the guys who avoided react for no reason lol
Wow! Thatās a great news 
Shout out to everyone who avoided React, without whom React would never have an MIT license.
Hereās my article answering your questions. Sort of. 
Do you have actual evidence, or is it just your feeling?
Thanks for sharing @LawJolla, great articles by the way!
I read the article several times but honestly I still struggle to understand how React now is any different than other MIT licensed OSS software?
And frankly I really donāt understand how GraphQL or React can even be patented, the first is specs which is to be adopted by the industry, and the later is an implementation of a very well know and old concepts in web development, but Iām not a lawyer, so Iāll get back to my code
Why the FUD and negative speculations now. React has greatly benefited the community, it has a very vibrant ecosystem and itās bigger than FB. Many people contributed toward enriching that ecosystem, and itās a loss for the community if the adoption declines for non-technical reasons.
This guy is a lawyer
Um, yep! 
Looks like it is!
I donāt get it, now it becomes MIT and this is still bad because there is no patent grant?
What does that imply to me? There is so much MIT licensed libraries and software out there, why should MIT license be such a problem with react then?
Can somebody explain that to a non-native speaker?
Good question. I edited the article to hopefully clear that up. The answer is itās not. Youāre right. Itās more a practical issue.
Take MDG and MIT licensed Apollo-Client. First, we can quickly look over MDGās patent portfolio to see that they didnāt patent Apollo. You cannot do the same with Facebookās sea of complex patents. Moreover, MDG didnāt grant a patent license suggesting patents exist. Facebook did.
I went over two of GraphQLās patents here. You can look them over for a feeling of how and what happens.
Hopefully this helped!
Tagged you into this one because I think my comments above should help answer your questions.
Itās me. Iām a huge Meteor and Apollo fan, so Iām on here too.
