I don't get your point about MIT licensed being a standard. The BSD license used by React is a standard too.

But BSD+Patents isn't.

What I meant is that Facebook could just have used BSD without a patent grant.

But I read in other comments that some some lawyers think MIT implies a patent grant, which could explain why they switched from BSD to MIT.

Ahh, I see. But I think if they were just using BSD instead of BSD+Patents no one would have had any issue with it.
