[Fedora-legal-list] About Facebook updated open source patent grant
Hi,
It appears that since April, 2015, Facebook updated their open source
patent grant.

Some companies like Google decided to ban Facebook software from their
toolbox since.

The actual conditions added to all Facebook projects:

Potentially, it could mean that no Facebook open source projects can
be shipped in Fedora including high-profile projects like
React.Native.
The worse being that such javascript library are often bundled without
notice ...
