Ask HN: Is it safe to use Facebook's open source projects?

There is a PATENTS file in almost all Facebook's open source projects with statements on "Additional Grant of Patent Rights".E.g., React (https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/master/PATENTS)Why Facebook adds this declaration on top of the BSD license of the software? Is it safe to use those projects in my commercial project?

The audio part is cool!

I made a similar project to this (but without sound).

https://github.com/kfei/sshcam

Which uses SSH connection, 256-colors, Unicode block characters and CIE94 algorithm to compute color distance when mapping colors to 256 palette.
