I'm sure he is smart enough to realize this, but if he does make Tesla's patents available, I hope it is structured in such a way so as to force some sort of open shared license pooling for those who join in. If unrestricted I can easily imagine other companies using Tesla's released patents while suing Tesla for violating patents that the other company owns. Because the practice of IP law in this country is fucking insane these days.
