      The problem is that Facebook faces no punishment for initiating patent lawsuits, which is different from Apache.

      Reality is that FB is sued (way) more often that suing others. You can choose to ignore this but I don't fault them for accounting for it.

      I don't in any way fault them for trying to turn FB "OSS" into a Trojan horse to protect themselves from patent suits. Just worth knowing.

      When you use Facebook "OSS" you're participating in a scheme cooked up by Facebook legal to mitigate legal risks to Facebook the corporation

      when you use [INSERT WEBSITE HERE] you're participating in a scheme to mitigate legal risks that's how ToCs work.

      Anyway, I fail to see how the patent grant is in any way applicable to me if I don't use patents and want to discourage their use.

      If you don't have your own patents, there's really nothing to see here.

      Unless you care about the stability and long-term viability of the open source ecosystem.

      As you said, Facebook is deciding to put its own interests above the community. Disingenuous to tell the community "nothing to see here"

      I'm referring to the immediate, practical, micro-level Q of: how does the license affect *me*. If you don't have patents, it really doesn't.

      Right, but maybe if you don't have patents (and therefore are a little guy) you care about the long term big picture.
