In reply to Ryan McCue.

I am really happy Automattic are satisfied that, as far as they are concerned, it didn't matter...

So Facebook grants users of the software perpetual royalty free use of the software until....

The license granted hereunder will terminate, automatically and without notice,
if you (or any of your subsidiaries, corporate affiliates or agents) initiate
directly or indirectly, or take a direct financial interest in, any Patent
Assertion: (i) against Facebook or any of its subsidiaries or corporate
affiliates, (ii) against any party if such Patent Assertion arises in whole or
in part from any software, technology, product or service of Facebook or any of
its subsidiaries or corporate affiliates,

So I'm incorrect in assuming this means that if any company building with React ever has to protect their patents against Facebook, their license to use React will be revoked?

Hate being an armchair commentator, but you know... you would think for something to be included in core, it wouldn't include wording such as this in its license...

Anyway, it doesn't matter to Automattic, so that's that right?
