The problem with the patents clause is that it's too broad wrt patents. If you have a valid patent that Facebook is infringing upon, no matter if it relates to React, Facebook revokes your right to use React. That's their prerogative, but it is generally too broad to allow some companies to actually use the library.

That would be awful. Has this ever been used by Facebook, where a company had to strip react out?
No.
Cool, thanks for the info!
