So, I don't have any idea about copyright law. I've heard, that React is bad, as it has a `if you sue or in any way "compete" against us, we revoke your licence` clause.

So how bad is this? Is this really a thing, unless you either sue FB, or they try to buy you (which are both not very probable for small companies). Could someone who knows their shit give me a tl;dr summary (or feel free to debate)

What I've found so far: https://github.com/facebook/react/... which seams to be kind of ok.

This would be the patent: https://github.com/facebook/react/...

undefined

facebook

license

react

    I had never heard of such a thing, is there any precedent in the history of web frameworks?

    Non-official response but last I heard it was a catch all to cover their asses and make Google happy. It is a year old, but this link: https://github.com/facebook/react/... says we don't need to panic. Microsoft and Google are cool with it...

    That's what I thought.

    It's used to cover their asses, if they get sued (to be able to sue back)

    The only other case, that I see, where it could get problematic, is if they'd like to aquire you, they could sue you to force a takeover or if you're a direct compatitor, like Snapchat or something.

    I would like to update you again here. I found an easy solution to protect my copyright online https://masterbundles.com/wp-conten... Actually, master bundles is a place where users can sell their design, copyright, bundles etc.
