replyIt is now Apache 2.0 which grants patent rights and can be re-licensed to PostgreSQL when the code is upstreamed. I'll amend the blog to make that clearer.
I recall Facebook had a similar rider on the React license for many years until eventually removing it. It’s visually similar to the Apache2 patent clause but not scoped to just the licensed software use
