譯：Facebook將修改React、Jest、Flow與Immutable.js受權許可（重磅）

下週，咱們將用MIT協議從新受權咱們的開源項目React、Jest、Flow和Immutable.js。之因此咱們要從新受權這些項目，是由於React是不少網絡開源軟件生態系統的基礎，咱們不但願由於非技術的緣由致使開源生態的倒退。

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.

通過幾周對咱們社區的失望和不肯定性後，咱們作出了這個決定。雖然咱們仍然相信咱們的 BSD+Patents
受權許可證給咱們的項目的用戶帶了一些好處，但咱們知道咱們並無說服社區。

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.

在經歷了對咱們受權許可的不肯定性後，咱們知道不少團隊經歷了選擇React替代方案的過程，咱們對於這部分團隊的流失感到遺憾。咱們不期望可以經過修改受權協議挽回這部分團隊，但咱們但願打開但願的大門。社區友好的合做和競爭一直推進着咱們向前，咱們想要全面的參與其中。

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.

這一轉變天然引發了對Facebook其餘開源項目的疑問。咱們許多受歡迎的開源項目目前仍會保持BSD + Patents 受權許可。咱們也在從新評估這些項目的受權許可，但每一個項目都是不一樣的，而且替代的受權選項取決於多種因素。

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.

咱們將在下週React 16的發佈中更新受權許可證。咱們已經在React 16上花了超過一年的時間來將它的內核徹底重寫，以此解鎖更強大的功能，使用React構建用戶界面的開發者將大大獲益。咱們稍後很快會跟你們分享咱們是如何重寫React的，同時但願咱們的工做可以激勵開發者們，無論他們是否使用React。咱們但願以前的受權許可的爭議能成爲過去，重新回到咱們真正關心的事情：創造偉大的產品。

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.
