Explaining React's license
Well generally React users seem to not care. So I don't blame FB. I guess the clause could be rewritten to be more like what Google/Apache 2.0 does - then everyone would be happy.

React was originally under the Apache2 license. So is this a bit of a bait-and-switch?
https://github.com/facebook/react/blob/75897c2dcd1dd3a6ca462...
Also, could that original patent grant in the original license apply to later versions of React?

I don't think so, but you could fork from v11 (0.11 in old naming) as it was the last full release to use Apache.
