Not benevolent, just less bad compared to what exists with the other big co's; I wish all software patents would die.

MIT sorry. You said you'd "probably win" if sued under MIT. Hardly better than the guarantee I understand FB's clause to grant us.

The difference is that Facebook is listing conditions in which its license won't apply and they single out Facebook.

Again, the thought experiment of how people would reply if asked to switch to Apache is relevant.

With Polymer, it's an oversight. They don't intent to reserve any rights to revoke patents. With React, it's a real dispute over policy.
-
I hope Polymer, ng, etc all end up as Apache so FB would be pressured to follow.

I'm not convinced any amount of pressure will matter here but I'm happy to lead the way (relicensing is hard sadly)
