Yes it would totally make sense for facebook to effectively kill react (wasting millions of their paid engineering hours) and forever taint their developer community by using that clause to sue another company just because they compete. </sarcasm>
Hypothetically if you ever grow so big and frighten facebook to that degree, migrating off react would be an easy problem to solve.
- bad_user 10y agoHypothetically, when you're found to infringe a patent for a product that was already deployed, then the damage was already done and migrating at that point won't save you ;-)
- capkutay 10y agoRight but this clause assumes you are the one suing facebook for patent infringement and unless your patent is along the lines of "we use react.js to do x", then you probably have the flexibility to port it to a different framework.
- ergo14 10y agoBILLIONS, TRILLIONS of hours went into react /s Or maybe whole eternity... Why restrict yourself to just millions.
