Just curious: did Facebook change the license? AFAIK they can revoke permission to use from 3rd parties. Am I mistaken? If not, isn't this a huge risk for start

Just curious: did Facebook change the license? AFAIK they can revoke permission to use from 3rd parties. Am I mistaken? If not, isn't this a huge risk for startups?

And they only revoke the patent-grant of React as far as I can tell, not your license to use it (and there aren't any patents related to React as far as the internet claims).
