If you’re a startup, you should not use React (reflecting on the BSD + patents license)
FINAL EDIT — weeks after this article was published, Facebook changed their licensing model for React et al. to MIT. Open source activism works! [EDIT — My argument is a cautionary one, I’ve made some edits in that direction. I am not a lawyer, but I argue that — as a startup — if I’d want to keep my doors open to any future outcome, offer, exit, proposal, FB’s OSS licenses may pose an obstacle un
Explaining React’s license
A few weeks ago, the Apache Software Foundation (the ASF) made a decision to list the BSD + Patents license as a Category-X license. This move affects users of much of Facebook’s open source software, but especially the popular React project and the constellation of projects around it. As a result, many have asked us to consider relicensing React and all of our other open source projects. What has

They are patiently waiting for you to answer their questions, complaints, pull requests, and feature requests. You want to help all of them, but for now you’re putting it off.

#OSSThanks + some thoughts - Henry - Medium
I wanted to give a shout out to the folks who helped me get started in Open Source and lead me to my current involvement today. I’m hoping this can be encouraging to folks who also want to be involved. Before doing open source, I was having fun making random visualizations using Mike Bostock’s awesome d3 library and being excited about learning about bootstrap. Of course I made a twitter map. I di
I Contributed To An Open-Source Editor, And So Can You — Smashing Magazine
Extensible and customizable tools are nothing new. Most of what we use can be extended in one way or another, whether in the form of add-ons, plugins or specialist languages. Christian Heilmann wrote a lot of extensions and toolbars, which very much boosted the productivity of his company back then. Thankfully, these days, companies understand that offering specialist languages is time wasted, whe

~2015 in review
This started off as a generic year in review but as I was writing it became a lot more personal. This is my story of how I dealt with going from high school to moving to another country and working in big tech in a little over a year. All throughout my childhood I’ve had an interest in computers and the web. When I was eight I published my first website, when I was eleven I was causing mischief on
Updating Our Open Source Patent Grant
At Facebook, we strive to open source innovative, world-class software. These are the same technologies that we ourselves use in production, and we strive to ensure that developers feel comfortable about their quality. But we also know that there are other things people look at when choosing to use or build on open source software projects, such as their licenses and terms of use. We default to us

［OSS/Linux］ネットから基幹システムへ、基本ソフトからアプリケーションへと拡大したOSS
オープンソース・ソフトウエア(OSS）を代表するLinux。それは1991年、当時フィンランドの大学院生だったリーナス・トーバルズ氏が、自分で使うOSを作ろうとして始まったプロジェクトだった。開発を始めた時には、現在のように世界中で使われるようになるとは全く思っていなかったという。しかし、その自由さから多くの開発者が開発プロジェクトに参加するようになったLinuxは、インターネットのサーバーとして広がり、今では東京証券取引所などの金融システムや、原子力発電所などでも使われるようになった。 【お薦め記事】 リーナス・トーバルズ氏 スペシャルインタビュー ITproの「オープンソース/Linux」サイトでは、Linuxを使いこなすための記事を多数掲載している。Linuxの学習や、Linux上での開発に役立ててほしい。 【お薦め記事】 Linuxディストリビューションの導入方法 - インストール
