Everyone is going on tangents, but yes React is as open-source as they come. What people are conflating are the notion of community-driven and open-source.

React is a successful Facebook OSS project. An example of one which went poorly is Thrift. Facebook open-sourced it and then internally used fbthrift which diverged drastically. OSS Thrift isn't that popular these days any more.

Hive is another good example of the same issue.
