Ask HN: Migrating away from React after license decision?

2 pointsby canyoneroover 7 years ago
About a month ago the Apache Software Foundation, made the decision to disallow the BSD + Patent license. This is precisely the license that React is using. There was discussion on this announcement on HN at the time. [1] Naturally, this also generated debate and discussion on GitHub as well. [2]<p>Facebook recently blogged that despite the change in status from ASF for the BSD + Patent license, they would not be making any changes. [3]<p>So, I&#x27;m curious to find out how many teams out there are actually going to take action based on the aforementioned events and current licensing status. Also, if you are migrating away from React, what are your plans going forward (Move to Preact, Vue, something else)?<p>1. https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=14779881<p>2. https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;facebook&#x2F;react&#x2F;issues&#x2F;10191<p>3. https:&#x2F;&#x2F;code.facebook.com&#x2F;posts&#x2F;112130496157735&#x2F;explaining-react-s-license

as long as you are trying to build the next facebook or something similar to facebooks business i dont think you will not have any problem with react, legal at Netflix doesnt have a problem with so I dont see how it will be a problem to regular community. If the hell really broke loose though I would prefer Vue any day, it strips off all the complexity given by Angular&#x2F;React and makes single page apps simpler. And Easy.
