Elon Musk CEO of Tesla Motors and SpaceX just announced that Tesla Motors which holds at least 133 Patents will be allowed for use by anyone with fair intentions.
Tesla will not initiate patent lawsuits against anyone who, in good faith. wants to use our technology.
In times when innovation is Rare and Costly, Elon Musk has set a extraordinary example by letting this happen and he has a greater vision for doing this, simply say. He wants all Or any of the competitors/manufacturers to use the technology that they have developed by intellect, sweat and money.

Lets just see if other’s take some learning.
