I am very happy to report that ZSTD removed PATENTS clause: https://github.com/facebook/zstd/pull/801

RocksDB too.
That really makes it seem like Facebooks stance is: "As long as we have a few really huge projects that infiltrate most companies' codebases, our 'smaller' projects can drop the patent clause".
What the hell? None of this makes any sense. What is Facebook up too?
This is huge.

Welcome to the "folks who miss the forest for the trees" club.
Welcome to the over-reaction party.
3 years from now, most startups and companies will still be using React as they did for the last 5 years that the same terms held.

Hmmm.. in that case the people who actually need this advice even more would be the maintainers of ZSTD who seem to have hastily changed the license after seeing the backlash from the Apache policy change. Care to stand by this opinion and leave your comment on the thread which discusses the license change over on GitHub?
