Kudos to the React team for relicensing to MIT and thank you so much for listening. Thank you thank you thank you.

No. The previous license gave you the right to use plus granted the patents under certain conditions. This one gives you the right to use…
-
… plus a never tried in court possible implicit patent grant. Apache 2.0 would have been a lot clearer.

I certainly would have preferred Apache 2. I'm very happy to be freed from a possible entanglement in a future patent lawsuit involving FB
-
I don't see how you're freed from that. This is

strategy. Those patents, if they exist, still do. -
Read the MIT license again. Permission is hereby granted to use without restriction. How you gonna win that lawsuit.
-
Most patent disputes don't go to court.

You're worried, concretely, that Facebook's gonna sue a React user for patent infringement & get a settlement they wouldn't get w/ PATENTS?
-
Permission is hereby granted to use without restriction... What are you thinking is the loophole?
