It's more or less the point of my post. The revocation is where the incentives come from. FB is immune from the incentives of React license.

You are correct re: mechanics of licenses but overlook that FB is a huge litigation target. ASF isn't.

One could argue litigation playing field is tilted against FB (constant patent threats) and PATENTS is a small way to mitigate this risk

Right. As I said, everyone agree that PATENTS is about protecting Facebook, not you. Using React is just participating in a racket.

People like React so they think they like Facebook. No reason to help them set up a corporate moat that has nothing to do with OSS.

To tone it down a bit, the playing field may be tilted against react from the perspective Google, but where's the little guy in all this?

Little guy should recognize that he may be no better off avoiding React. Something I wrote explaining why:https://blog.cloudboost.io/3-points-to-consider-before-migrating-away-from-react-because-of-facebooks-bsd-patent-license-b4a32562d268 …

It's less about avoiding react and more about the possibility of somehow getting ensnared in a proxy war. I'm personally less concerned...

...about the impact of individual decisions and more concerned about whether the community should consider this acceptable policy.

Re: community I agree it's not ideal. FB probably agrees, too. I think FB is just trying to balance their interests with community needs

Fair enough. I think people should be aware of that and pressure them to do better. Do you think Apache wouldn't serve them well enough?

No b/c Apache wouldn't deter others from initiating non-React patent lawsuits vs. FB. This is something FB has to worry about. ASF doesn't.
