If everyone used FB's license, but everyone violates *someones* patents, then all OSS licenses would be revoked. OSS would be closed.

Nah - everyone violates *someone's* patents, then _nobody could sue each other_

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.

Uber and Google are in a costly lawsuit *right now* and Google just wrapped one up w Oracle. I'm sure they'd love a better solution to this.

Both of those examples are unrelated to software patents.

? Google v. Oracle was all about whether or not the Java API was able to be copyrighted. How is that not related to software?

Sorry, didnt realise the Oracle v Goog case included software patents. Even with that, do you think something like the patents clause helps?
