[Koha-devel] To React or not to React

[David Cook]

The updated licence isn’t without controversy:  <https://discuss.reactjs.org/t/legal-department-did-not-allow-use-of-react/3309/4> https://discuss.reactjs.org/t/legal-department-did-not-allow-use-of-react/3309/4

 

That said, I think the issue is that Facebook could revoke your licence to use React if you take legal action against Facebook. I don’t imagine the Koha community is going to do that, so it’s probably not a blocker.

I did much research on that particular issue and it was put to rest when Facebook updated it's license for React. It looks like the Wikipedia page only has the vaguest reference to that ; )
