froweway··on A startup founder and ex-Facebook engineer’s story of the BSD + Patents license
No explicit patent grant has been functionally sufficient for decades so not sure what you're saying there.

What about Google and Microsoft's FOSS contributions do you consider "non-efforts"?

All of this just poisons the water. I know people are looking for justifications for their favorite framework, but if Facebook wants to trojan horse FOSS with asymmetric privileges, it should just sell React licenses and call it a day.
