Facebook has announcedthat the React, Jest, Flow, and Immutable.js projects will be moving to theMIT license. This is, of course, a somewhat delayed reaction to the controversy over the "BSD+patent" licensepreviously applied to those projects. "This decision comes afterseveral weeks of disappointment and uncertainty for our community. Althoughwe still believe our BSD + Patents license provides some benefits to usersof our projects, we acknowledge that we failed to decisively convince thiscommunity."
