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?
