If by "spreading" you mean Facebook is publishing new open source projects using that license combination, yes, it's "spreading".

Atom-IDE is a Facebook project. It seems to be actually derived (in part) from their Nuclide project, which has a completely proprietary non-open source license.

Is it a Facebook project though? The announcement says in collaboration with Facebook. That's an unusual definition of the word collaborate.

If only there was some sort of history of the code... and the history of people that contributed to the code over time...

Something like this maybe? https://github.com/facebook-atom/atom-ide-ui/graphs/contribu...

I looked at top 12 people, none of them claim to work for GitHub, majority of them claim to work for Facebook.

If only there was some way to tell.
