The reference implementation of GraphQL has a patent grant identical to React [1].
It does not seem wise to use anything with that rider if you have or would like to leave open the possibility of having patents which you license to / enforce against Facebook.
The argument for patent disarmament strikes me as reasonable, but some companies have novel tech they would like to license to Facebook, and restricting the use of software like this seems a pretty severe violation of the notion of Free Software.
