Description
I found the notice "Confidential and proprietary." in some file headers.
For example:
https://github.com/facebook/fresco/blob/e1205db45cb7c74a74d62db5e5f36d944d41bca8/fbcore/src/main/java/com/facebook/common/internal/Fn.java#L1
What does this mean? Can I still use the files with this header under MIT license terms?
