That said, I think the issue is that Facebook could revoke your licence to use React if you take legal action against Facebook. I donât imagine the Koha community is going to do that, so itâs probably not a blocker.
If you are right and that is the issue, does that mean Koha would not be Free Software anymore unless everything React is reverted?
That sounds like something I would not just push away with "i don't imagine that happening", it sounds scary and not a way I want to go.
I don't see how a license that can be revoked for whatever reasons could work for us.
