React, Jest, Flow, Immutable.js将改用MIT开源协议

本文由huangxiaolu在众成翻译平台翻译。

下周，我们将根据MIT开源协议重新授权我们的开源项目React，Jest，Flow和Immutable.js。我们之所以修改这些项目的开源协议，是因为对于开源软件的生态系统来说，React举足轻重，我们不想让非技术原因阻碍技术进步。

受上次改变React协议的影响，我们的社区经历了数周的失望和彷徨，于是我们决定再次修改协议。我们仍确信BSD +专利证书能够让我们开源项目的使用者受益，但不得不承认，社区并不认可这种做法。

由于对我们的开源协议产生了犹疑的想法，许多团队都已经开始挑选React的替代库。真的很抱歉引起这样的风波。我们不指望让这些团队重回React的阵营，但是我们确实想要拥抱社区，让大家放心地使用我们的开源项目。在开源世界里，友好的合作与竞争能够推动大家共同进步，我们乐意全面参与。

受新的协议改动影响，大家一定会对Facebook其他开源项目产生疑问。我们很多受欢迎的项目将继续使用BSD +专利证书。我们正在评估这些项目的开源协议，但是每个项目的情况都不一样，需要综合考量多种因素才能决定具体采用哪种协议。

我们将在下周正式发布的React 16中更新开源协议。过去一年多的时间里，我们一直在研发React 16。我们完全重写了内部组件，解锁了强大的功能，以便大家构建更大规模的用户界面。不久我们会分享重写React的更多细节。无论大家是否使用React，我们都希望我们的工作能够激励广大开发人员。希望大家先暂缓对开源协议的争议，回到我们最关注的事情上：如何输出伟大的产品。

Next week, we are going to relicense our open source projects React, Jest, Flow, and Immutable.js under the MIT license. We're relicensing these projects because React is the foundation of a broad ecosystem of open source software for the web, and we don't want to hold back forward progress for nontechnical reasons.

This decision comes after several weeks of disappointment and uncertainty for our community. Although we still believe our BSD + Patents license provides some benefits to users of our projects, we acknowledge that we failed to decisively convince this community.

In the wake of uncertainty about our license, we know that many teams went through the process of selecting an alternative library to React. We're sorry for the churn. We don't expect to win these teams back by making this change, but we do want to leave the door open. Friendly cooperation and competition in this space pushes us all forward, and we want to participate fully.

This shift naturally raises questions about the rest of Facebook's open source projects. Many of our popular projects will keep the BSD + Patents license for now. We're evaluating those projects' licenses too, but each project is different and alternative licensing options will depend on a variety of factors.

We'll include the license updates with React 16's release next week. We've been working on React 16 for over a year, and we've completely rewritten its internals in order to unlock powerful features that will benefit everyone building user interfaces at scale. We'll share more soon about how we rewrote React, and we hope that our work will inspire developers everywhere, whether they use React or not. We're looking forward to putting this license discussion behind us and getting back to what we care about most: shipping great products.
