From the article:
> Tesla CEO Elon Musk announced today that his company will not "initiate patent lawsuits against anyone who, in good faith, wants to use our technology."
The question really is - what defines "good faith" for Musk and Tesla.
Additionally, I am no patent expert but it will be interesting to see licensing terms, if any. Specially after what happened with React and Facebook.
- KGIII 9y agoThe link in another response to me has a link to a clarification video from Musk. I didn't watch it, as the text was adequate. It looks like no licensing is required and that they've been legally dumped into the public domain in a binding fashion - maybe. That's not actually ever been ruled on in a court, from what I can find via Google. That post suggests no company legal team would allow it. The article thinks Apple might use it, as an example of a user. I am no expert, so I'll defer to others.
