Peter Knight The patents license is a corporate artifact specifically designed to protect the interests of a mega corporation which alters the behavior of those looking to build on top of OSS. It has no business in an ecosystem that thrives on the freedoms open source software aims to protect. The fact that it is openly acknowledged that a portion of projects will feel forced to abandon React should be as clear as signal as any that WordPress can’t possible qualify React as a suitable for core. Not unless it wants to limit the teams, people and businesses choosing WordPress as their platform.
