edit: oh it's not copyleft, but specifically quid pro quo so tesla gives you their patents if you give them yours
- nunobrito 2y agoYes, it seems we need some kind of designation like copyleft for the context of patents or maybe already exists one. Quid pro quo is well adjusted for the context.
- shkkmo 2y agoA copy left style arrangement would require you to not enforce your patents against anyone who signs and upholds the agreement, not just with Tesla. If that was the case, I probably wouldn't have quibbled with the term "open source" being applied.
