Of course they release this late on a Friday so it is does not get much reach. Facebook is very very evil - in every part of the company. Copying other's ideas (Snapchat) yet trying to stop other companies from copying them (this licensing).
- bdcravens 9y agoI don't see it as "released". It's just the closing of a Github issue, not a press release. Do you feel that if a company is "evil", do you feel there's a moral imperative to not use their products? It seems to me there's a lot of "But React!" going on.
- inopinatus 9y agoIt's an interesting question. I actually do feel that way, and this was a significant factor in choosing to use Vue.js for my next project over both React & Angular.
- bdcravens 9y agoI'm on the fence about the license, but I totally believe your technology choices should reflect your convictions. Obviously there's a lot of attitudes of entitlement in our industry where it's easier to make a Github comment or a tweet than to take a stand.
- haeffin 9y agoThey put out a facebook post at about the same time that is something like a press release though.
- Xoros 9y agoThe post linked is from 4 hours ago. So yes it's a late Friday statement. https://code.facebook.com/posts/112130496157735/explaining-react-s-license/ https://code.facebook.com/posts/112130496157735/explaining-r...
- bdcravens 9y agoI think the linked URL has changed - before I thought it was to the Github issue.
- chrisco255 9y agoThey're not stopping anyone from copying them. In fact, they're saying please, use our code and use our patents...just don't sue us! How hard is that to understand?
