I ran into this article today:

http://react-etc.net/entry/your-license-to-use-react-js-can-be-revoked-if-you-compete-with-facebook

Since last year ReactJS has had a restrictive patent license that requires
non-compete with Facebook in any use of patents in their product.

This may have been discussed before, but this is a notable and interesting
demonstration on why licenses like the BSD license are harmful, since they
do not really guarantee software freedom due to the lack of a patent grant.
