As the REACT protocol changes, Facebook has been plagued by developers and open source communities. FB didn't expect everyone's reaction to be so intense. Apache, WordPress and other organizations have announced the ban or abandoned the use of react.

"FB will convert react, Jest, flow, immutable.js four open source agreements to MIT next week," Facebook engineer Adam Wolff 23rd in a FB blog.

Adam says react is the cornerstone of an extensive Web-open source ecosystem, and they don't want to hinder its development because of the technical reasons.

Adam Wolff wrote in his blog:

After weeks of disappointment and uncertainty in our community, we made the decision. Although we still believe that the "BSD + patent" Agreement will facilitate the users of our Open-source projects, we acknowledge that we have not succeeded in persuading the react community. "

Because of the uncertainty of our agreement, we understand that many teams are choosing react alternatives. We are sorry to have caused you trouble. Although we do not expect these teams to change their minds because of our new decision, we do want to open the door.

This shift naturally raises questions about FB's other open source project agreements. Many of our popular projects will continue to follow the "BSD + patent" agreement. " Although we are also evaluating the agreements for these projects, each project is different, and choosing a replacement agreement will depend on a variety of factors.

We will release react 16 next week and change the agreement to MIT. React 16 We have developed more than a year, we have completely rewritten the react internal structure to open powerful features that will benefit everyone in scale to build the user interface. Looking back we will also share how to rewrite react, and we expect our work to inspire ubiquitous developers, whether they're using react or not. We hope that we can put the discussion of the agreement behind us and return to the place where we are most concerned: the release of excellent products.

What about the MIT protocol?
