Facebooks BSD+Patents license, used for React, is not compatible with ASF policies. https://www.apache.org/legal/resolved#category-x

We need to switch, e.g. to https://preactjs.com/ We use React for the admin/edit mode in the project menu, phone verification dialog, and subscribing to individual pages.

Now they're going to license it as MIT. https://code.facebook.com/posts/300798627056246/relicensing-react-jest-flow-and-immutable-js/ So I guess we just have to upgrade to React 16 (once its out) to get the MIT licensed version.

React 16 is out. https://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2017/09/26/react-v16.0.html It does mention 15.6.2 is licensed under MIT too. We're on v0.14.3, but could help I guess if 16 has some backwards compatibility issue.

The react-drag and react-reorderable projects have had a few updates, but not much. Seems to work fine leaving them as-is.

Test:

run npm run build

subscribe icon in action bar

Add New & navbar admin mode (drag/drop, settings menu, grouped tools, threshold control, etc)

phone verification on new project registration

need to be a user with no projects (e.g. "test-user")

need project.verify_phone and phone.* settings in .ini

in .ini file, change debug = true to false and restart web server, which to confirm using using the minified react file instead of the full debug version works correctly too.
