The post is wrong about React changing the BSD+Patent license. It hasn't changed and is still an issue, depending on who you ask.

Preact https://preactjs.com/ is a good purely MIT licensed drop in replacement for React if licensing is an issue

It claims to be a drop in replacement, but it isn't.

Can you expand on this at all? I've looked at it as a replacement and I understand there are things like prop-types that are missing, but my understanding is that there are other libraries you can can use in addition to preact that give you 100% compatibility.
