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

Yes, again, I agree. But up to this point you're the first person who has expressed any concern for the contributors. That's not the issue.

The issue is that there is a bunch of FUD going around by people who are afraid they can't use React because they can't sue FB if they do.
-
The issue here is that a bunch of people are unhappy with a bad license for a lot of different reasons and ppl keep being ...
-
... dismissive of those concerns. Lawyers in other companies who have looked at the license are aware of the contributor issue ...
-
... generally speaking being dismissive of concerns by repeatedly calling it FUD and oversimplifying doesn't convince anyone.
-
I'm hardly being dismissive! I agreed with you that there's an issue. Just that it's not the issue that everyone's complaining about!
-
People are confused, but the "FUD" is really just people getting a valid Spidey sense that something ain't right here.

I have about 100 replies from yesterday from people who are concerned about their right to sue Facebook. Nobody mentioned contributors.

And thanks
@wycats for bringing this up & helping me learn. I hadn't heard this objection this way before (which probably was my fault!). -
The whole discussion has been fairly confusing and the most severe objections are being made by lawyers in private.
