As expected Facebook caves over its licencing.

As expected Facebook caves over its licencing.

This decision comes after several weeks of disappointment and uncertainty for our community. Although we still believe our BSD + Patents license provides some benefits to users of our projects, we acknowledge that we failed to decisively convince this community.

If there’s one thing more powerful than a globe-spanning Silicon Valley behemoth it’s a tidal wave of developers abandoning your product. Developer mindshare is something a tech company can gain and lose in just a matter of months.

In the wake of uncertainty about our license, we know that many teams went through the process of selecting an alternative library to React. We’re sorry for the churn. We don’t expect to win these teams back by making this change, but we do want to leave the door open.

“Mine is a most peaceable disposition.

Originally shared by Daniel M.

“Mine is a most peaceable disposition. My wishes are: a humble cottage with a thatched roof, but a good bed, good food, the freshest milk and butter, flowers before my window, and a few fine trees before my door; and if God wants to make my happiness complete, he will grant me the joy of seeing some six or seven of my enemies hanging from those trees. Before death I shall, moved in my heart, forgive them all the wrong they did me in their lifetime. One must, it is true, forgive one’s enemies– but not before they have been hanged”

– Heinrich Heine
