During the last round of concern over Facebook's license they continuously said "it's just like Apache's license."

They used some of Apache's language and then tied to Apache's reputation as a defense.

Apache and OSI proved useless for the last 2 years on this, making no public statements while React adoption grew.

Now, after Apache makes their position and values clear, Facebook's defense is "Apache and Facebook have different goals." Ya, no shit.

Facebook's claim that this fights trolls isn't true. Trolls don't use React, they are shell companies that hold IP.

But somehow overlooked is the fact that *only* Facebook is out there adding one-sided patent provisions to their licensing.

This has been pointed out to them several times and, as far as I can tell, their answer is "we're Facebook, we're special."

So, what do you recommend? Should we stop using React?
