[openstack-dev] [javascript] [fuel-ui] Is ReactJS OSI Compliant?
Preface: IANAL (I-am-not-a-lawyer). ReactJS claims to be BSD licensed. However, it has a non-BSD patent rider with a very aggressive "Strong Retaliation Clause", meaning that if there's ever a patent dispute between [React Project] and Facebook, the patents are revoked. This might be fine. It might not. If possible, I'd like one of the foundation lawyers to weigh in on this, as one of our projects (Fuel-UI) is using it. Some discussion on the matter: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12108158 Our own guidelines. http://governance.openstack.org/reference/licensing.html Historically, OpenStack has avoided projects that make custom modifications to a license (see the do-no-evil license on JSLint/JSHint).
