Apache placed React's BSD + PATENTS in "Category-X", banning it from being used in Apache projects:

> The BSD+Patent Grant was designed to combat the patent trolls, but people lost their minds and now it’s gone.

It was designed for Facebook to fight patent trolls, but not for you. In comparison with saner license like Apache 2.0, Facebook's license only applied to Facebook.

> The BSD licence is objectively worse than the BSD+Patent Grant.

That is false. Please read up on "implicit patents license".

The issue the Apache Foundation had with the license was that it was incompatible with the Apache license; they weren't making a value judgement about it being good, bad, strong, or weak. Many other excellent licenses are also in "Category-X".

The GPL, LGPL, and AGPL are also in that list, so by itself this isn't much of an indictment of the license itself.
