> Recently in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-303, the ASF condoned the use of RocksDB's PATENT restrictions. As you are aware of, RocksDB backtracked and removed the clause, which addresses the issue for the ASF projects packaging RocksDB.
> Now the same PATENT clause exists for Facebook's React, and Apache Superset (incubating) is heavily dependent on React. Much of Superset was built with the assumption of using React, and the project team and community can't afford removing that dependency.
> What are the implications here? What are the possible outcomes? Is it a possibility that the ASF grants the IP back to Airbnb at this point if the PPMC votes towards it?
