What's not to understand? If Facebook infringes on one of your software patents your choices are to rewrite your existing React code and sue them for damages or ignore it.

Once your 'professional lawyer' agrees that the license is enforceable it's up to you to decide whether giving Facebook an effective grant of all your patents it worth it.

> rewrite your existing React code

my understanding is that this isn't the case - react isn't itself covered by patent, and the bsd license remains in effect.
