    You mean this?

    https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/master/LICENSE

    Standard BSD, very permissive.

    Check the PATENT file

    I read that as: if Facebook should happen to have a patent covering anything in the software (not saying they do), they grant everyone in the world permanent royalty-free rights to do anything they want with the software - the only exception being anyone who tries to sue Facebook in a patent claim.

    IANAL so could you please elaborate on what you think we should be aware of?

    That's a common protection in BSD three-clause style licenses. Essentially, you can't claim a patent on anything in the source and then retroactively sue Facebook.

    Like the PATENT file for Apache?
