So if I understand correctly, by using React, you agree that if you sue Facebook, you'll need to stop using React? And that goes no matter the reason why you're suing them for? So say Facebook was infringing on one of your patent, you could still sue them, but you'd have to give up React if you did. Is that correct?

No, this is not correct. If you sue Facebook for infringing on your patents, then you lose the rights to any patents which Facebook may or may not have on parts of React. Nobody has, to my knowledge, found one of these patents to date.

  Then why does that line even exist? Why doesn't facebook just get rid of it entirely?

    Probably they just want to keep to door open and when some oracle comes around, their lawyers can make up some connections to patents facebook has then.
