Facebook won't counter sue you. They don't have to. You just lose your right to use React, due to its license.

- kybernetikos 9y agoI believe you still have a right to use it under copyright law since the license isn't terminated, it's just that potentially you may be infringing some patents, but so far nobody has actually pointed out what those patents would be, so I think it's a valid question.
- ec109685 9y agoThat's not true: https://code.facebook.com/pages/850928938376556 https://code.facebook.com/pages/850928938376556 Facebook can't take away your rights to use React under the BSD license, no matter what you do.
- CodesInChaos 9y agoYou only lose the patent license, not the copyright license. So it is important to know if facebook actually owns patents covering react and if those patents cover other frameworks as well (e.g. because they cover all virtual DOMs).
