Submission + - React Moves to Independent Linux Foundation Governance (react.dev)
cherouvim writes: The React Foundation, announced in late 2025, has now officially launched and moved React to an independent home under the Linux Foundation. Meta transferred ownership of React, React Native, and related projects, ending sole control.
The foundation provides neutral governance and long-term support, while technical direction stays with core maintainers. Founding members include Amazon, Huawei, Meta, Microsoft, Vercel, and others.
This development is important, since, React was long tied to Meta, and some developers were wary of single-company control. A neutral foundation reduces that risk and strengthens long-term trust in the project.
