https://medium.com/@raulk/if-youre-a-startup-you-should-not-use-react-reflecting-on-the-bsd-patents-license-b049d4a67dd2 Once upon a time SCO Linux was awesome, the company was great and embraced by community. Then Darl McBride decided suing people is easier than innovation. It did not work, they went bankrupt, but only after years of litigation and damage done to the same community who helped them become relevant in the first place. Now we have Facebook going rogue. Built using open source technologies, helped by students to crush MySpace - and here we go again, lawyers started to make decisions. Will this Patent file the be the start of their downfall? Or Zuckerberg will be smarter than Darl McBride and pull the plug? Sad to see Facebook becoming Oracle. I don't think it's a long term strategy to bite the hand that feeds you.
Old news. Also non-news. Build on it if it's the best choice for you.
A lot of big companies are using react and react native. Not sure how much of this is FUD, how much is a real concern, but I don't blame people for not blindly trusting FB
Read the article, it is a good explanation: If you're using React you're giving away your patents to Facebook to use them for free as they wish. It's legal speak, not FUD. If you sue Facebook for any reason, even if you're right, you have to stop using React and rewrite the code that relies on it.
Sad Reacts only
Time to switch to Inferno.js? :D Facebook is being ridiculous with the idea of using this to defend against frivolous lawsuits. According to a lawyer, you'd still retain the BSD license even if you sued them. Meaning you lose shit.
Hmm... I think the major difference is better support for server side rendering, apart from various little things.
Most of the chat I saw was Vue vs Preact Preact is drop-in replacement Vue is somewhat different philosophy
