Tesla will not initiate patent lawsuits against anyone who, in good faith, wants to use our technology.
So anyone who tried to make money and not pay us then.
Yup no need to worry about patents until you have a profitable venture and not at all if it was for research or doesn't pan out, seems reasonable to me.

Except you can point to this in court, it's implied permission to use the patents.

Erm no - that's not what it says at all. Acting in "good faith" doesn't mean you can't make money. Their press release even cites the example of large car manufacturers being able to use Tesla technology.
A report from Financial Times citing undisclosed sources, say that for the purpose of crafting up some universal vehicle charging standards, both Nissan and BMW are interested in working with Tesla. One of the sources told FT, “It is obviously clear that everyone would benefit if there was a far more simple way for everyone to charge their cars.”
It is possible that the said partnership involves the companies using Tesla Motors Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA)’s proprietary charging setup in both companies’ cars while it is also possible that the collective brain trust of all three companies together will be used to come up with an inventive way to charge electric vehicles quickly.
He's a goodun that Elon Musk fella.
