> It absolutely does not say that. If there are patented works in React (and even FB has said they don’t know if there are) then the React code is still covered by the license.

What I said was, if you sue Facebook for infringing on your patents then, by my reading, you lose the React software license. I didn't say that you lose the license if React contains patented works.

I saw the whole Linux v SCO thing so I hate FUD as much as the next guy, but I am literally going by the words in that document. I'm not adding or embellishing. Maybe my interpretation is wrong--I'm not a lawyer--but this is what I see when I read it.

> Let’s say you remove the patents license ... if you sued FB over patents and they revoked it that so many ppl are complaining about.

As I explained, my reading is that if Facebook removes the patent grant and you were to sue them, they could not revoke the React software license, which is what I believe they can do now.

Again, I know my reading may be wrong. But I am going by the exact wording of the patent grant.

Your reading is absolutely wrong.

I urge you to reread the Patent Grant: no-where does it even come close to saying that.
