React, Facebook, and the Revokable Patent License. Why It’s a Paper Tiger.

If it&#x27;s a paper tiger then why are legal teams blocking teams from adopting it?<p>There&#x27;s the theoretical risk of patent infringement that this post addresses, but the more important point (imo) is that the current state of affairs is stopping React adoption for teams that, without the input from their careful lawyers, would gladly adopt it. Or the fact the ASF legal team banned this type of license as a dependency for any of their projects.

Could facebook change the license at any time for future versions? I guess at least they couldn&#x27;t do that retroactively for previous versions since those are already &quot;released&quot;.

I guess that&#x27;s a double edged sword, right now it is harmless but who knows where FB can take it
