🐛 Bug Report

This repo still has the PATENTS file, effectively meaning that React Native is still impacted by the patent retaliation clause.

To Reproduce

Inspect this repo and observe that it's still under the BSD 3-clause LICENSE and critically, still has the PATENTS file.

Expected Behavior

React Native is no longer (transitively!) affected by the PATENTS file clause. I believe this was an oversight from the previous switch of React Native's own license.

React DevTools has been rewritten and recently launched a new version 4 UI. The source code for this rewrite was done in a separate repository and now lives in the main React repo (github.com/facebook/react).

Because version 4 was a total rewrite, and all issues in this repository are related to the old version 3 of the extension, I am closing all issues in this repository. If you can still reproduce this issue, or believe this feature request is still relevant, please open a new issue in the React repo: https://github.com/facebook/react/issues/new?labels=Component:%20Developer%20Tools
