and if I'm a small company that wants to defend my claim to keep a large company I can't afford to compete with like FB from destroying me?

Via patents? So you think patents are a fair system? Then I don’t understand why Facebook can’t be allowed to countersue within same system.

Dan, patent trolls are non practising entities that don't use React, GraphQL or anything. Full stop. FB's whole argument doesn't add up.

Nobody else in the industry has adopted your license model, 3 years after you introduced it. Why? Please take your pink coloured glasses off

It’s not popular in open source. But e.g. some Google APIs we are using have a similar license. FB is happy because it doesn’t want to sue.

Part of the reason it’s not popular is because Facebook is uncommon in that it open sources core pieces of its stack.

I don't really buy this argument. Uber, Google and others open source core tech that runs their businesses.

Google for example open source projects: Android, Chrome, Chrome OS, TensorFlow, Polymer, only to name a few. Core business tech.

Same way any other company does? It's unclear what sort of companies the patent clause even protects FB from.

I think "early" core business is a better statement. None of those were at a time when Google was growing its portfolio.

Also: how much money did Google spend on the lawsuit with Oracle? I don't think they've found the answer yet.
