Does preact come under React's patent clause? My understanding is that both are completely different libraries. If people have concerns on react's patent clause, isn't it easy to migrate to preact?

Unlike copyright, patents apply to anything that uses the patented method. This means that if Facebook have any patents on react (and so far I haven't seen anyone actually point to specific patents) they would apply to anything using the same techniques which would likely include any similar library.

It'd be interesting to see how the patent would be enforced if the company is outside US
