I'm still going to run this past our lawyer, but I think it's even less of a concern then before. Not only would I need to sue Facebook, I would need to sue Facebook *for infringing on my own patents*.

I suppose that is the most prudent thing to do Tomas. We do have a access to a lawyer so I'll talk to her and let you know her thoughts!

Yes, I've done as thorough a review on the issue as I've been able to. Basically, Koha is never in any danger. But if say, *I* sued Facebook, I could possibly lose my patent grants and wouldn't be able to distribute software that uses React. Everyone else would continue on using Koha as usual. Many very large companies with cadres of lawyers are using React, so I don't think it is anything to worry too hard about.
This is the kind of thing we need lawyers for. Do we have access to some?
