I know a number of start-ups who do use React, or plan to use React in the near future, sometimes for pretty critical pieces of their product. I think this puts a cloud over that. I don't think necessarily that React users are at any legal risk, but the problem is valuation. If you're looking to acquire a company that has a product that significantly uses React, why wouldn't you use this as a way of beating down the price? In some cases it could be seen as too big a risk altogether - if you're a GitLab or whoever, and you have an explicit stance against the React license, you're not going to acquire a product that uses React unless you have a plan in place to replace React. I think that's a pretty sad state of affairs...
