Github would earn a lot of respect if they simply disallowed that sort of license for anything hosted with them.

Downvotes? Really? Github could make a stand here and disallow licenses that evil and self-serving. With this license, anybody who even uses this software can't challenge any patents of Facebook's. If Github said no, this is wrong, they would set an example for everyone else and single this out as the terrible license it is.

Downvotes because its rather impractical, and Im sure many people don't want GitHub to start arbitrarily banning projects because of a random set of beliefs they have.

And then you have people that pay money to GitHub for code hosting...
