In case it wasn't *perfectly* clear: My goal is to get Facebook to switch to Apache not to discourage use of React.https://twitter.com/mjackson/status/909444287452114944 …
The existence of the React license is the risk. Using React plays right into the hands of the people who wrote the license.

Telling people they may as well use React to be safe is basically just asking people to pay into a protection racket.
-
No, my point is that the knee-jerk response of "OK, we'll just migrate to [Preact, Vue, etc.]" may not be well thought out.
-
Yeah I think we agree about that. But there may be other reasons to switch for someone like Wordpress (protest)
-
I think people might be assuming your comments apply to those cases too.
-
They do. Doesn't matter *why* you drop React. If you implement React functionality with a diff. library, FB's patents may still be an issue
-
But if you're trying to protest React's strategy in an effort to get it to change policy, this perspective is irrelevant.

Agreed
