In their PATENTS file: https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/master/PATENTS#L14-L2...

If you read it, it doesn't seem like GP's claim is completely true.

Are you talking about this part?

> if Facebook or any of its subsidiaries or corporate affiliates files a lawsuit alleging patent infringement against you in the first instance, and you respond by filing a patent infringement counterclaim in that lawsuit against that party that is unrelated to the Software, the license granted hereunder will not terminate under section (i) of this paragraph due to such counterclaim

And, please, point in which part of the file you linked where is said that your license is terminated if Facebook sues you

> 3. Facebook sues you and takes all your reacts and reducers

Perhaps I highlighted that part because the original OP talked about Facebook suing you first. Dude.
