Back in the day, Tesla was releasing some of its tech without patent licenses to help other EV makers catch up, to help the environment. Or at least that's what I remember from the PR.

Back then they wanted to blow their lead so electric cars would do better in general.

First-mover advantage wasn't going to be lost in the near-term due to patent-sharing.
