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.
