Until there is an example of a case where Facebook has abused a technology patented elsewhere and survived a lawsuit due to Patents+BSD all of this squealing is suspicious FUD. React is still a dominant tool for web technologies and anyone using this item in their checklist against it is doing the wrong homework.

The fact is that every big company named by that post undoubtedly has an expensive cross licensing agreement. The other fact is that the original react license (apache 2) defended them perfectly well, but they went out of their way to change it and further out of their way to explicitly keep it. That's not FUD. It's simple business sense to avoid complications.
