Ah!  Thanks so much for the clarification.

In that case, what *is* the SPDX license id or expression for the license used 
by many widely-used Facebook projects, including React.js?  If there isn't one, 
we need one ASAP.  It's widely-used *AND* subject to a lot of controversy, so a 
lot of people (including me!) want to know what to look for...!
