React Is No Longer Meta's Project, It Now Has Its Own Foundation (itsfoss.com)

The modern web has many critical building blocks, and React is one of those. First open-sourced by Meta in 2013, React is a JavaScript library for building user interfaces through reusable components.

Its mobile counterpart, React Native, brings the same component model to iOS and Android. At this point, we can comfortably say that these projects are not just development tools but an essential part of the web infrastructure.

Now, the project has a new home to reflect that.

I'm ready to be educated, but I'm not picking up what you are laying down? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_License

Unlike copyleft software licenses, the MIT License allows reuse within proprietary software, provided that all copies of the software or its substantial portions include a copy of the terms of the MIT License and also a copyright notice.

Is this the issue? That you can use the code in your own proprietary stuff? I don't see a problem with that tbh.
