What I'm wondering is how many layers of management had to approve a joke press release? I would bet it went pretty high up the chain.

  It probably came from Musk himself. He's a huge nerd and the wall at Tesla Motors that was once covered in framed patents is now covered in a giant picture of CAST from Zero Wing, and the announcement that they were giving them away was titled, "All Our Patents Are Belong To You". He literally announced their sharing of patents with a meme from like 2002.

    Pedantic correction: It's "CATS." :)

      Even-more-pedantic correction: It's "It's "CATS".". :)

        I was always under the impression that you want to put punctuation inside quotation marks. The only exception is in programming, as you don't want to put punctuation inside strings. Looking into it a little bit more, apparently the British put punctuation outside quotation marks, and Americans put it inside. Interesting.
