I think companies like Netflix et al are in a mutually assured destruction scenario with Facebook and others. They have the lawyers in house that can defend, counter sue, etc & by the current state of the patent system I'm sure there is something Netflix could try to sue FB for & I would guess neither one wants to fire the first shot in the war. The companies where this will be an issue for is smaller companies that may be in the right but can't afford a defense. INAL, I'm also a big user of React, while this license does irk me a bit, in reality if I were to ever go up against FB's legal team, I know I would most likely lose anyways. Don't mean to be defeatist about it, but its the state of our current legal system.
