Many IT companies in favor of patent reform and against patent wars, but to refrain from transferring patents in the public domain. Elon Musk showed how to fight for real.

Any automaker or individual is free to use intellectual property Tesla Motors. If you observe the rules of decorum (fair use), the Tesla Motors promises not to sue.
