I'm seeing a lot of "but X other company also has patents." Yes, that's the broken system but the unique issue is the unusual license
-
-
It's more about where the decision power comes from. Can you imagine a Rust RFC that added PATENTS to rust?
-
True also for Vue. From what I understand though React's is LESS dangerous than anything else from a major corp like Google or MS.
-
I'd be fine if framed as big corps vs independent devs ie Vue or Ember. But you were using React's uniqueness as de facto evidence of guilt
-
PATENTS is a uniquely bad patent license.
-
What license does Google and MS attach to their frameworks, to protect us from *their* patent arsenals?
-
Seriously casting this as a benevolent act by Facebook is silly and I wish you'd stop doing it.
-
Lots of people use Apache when this issue comes up. Projects that use MIT w/o patent grant often haven't thought about it.
-
But FB is unique in having given it a great deal of thought and deciding to use a unilateral patent grant that singles out one contributor
