I wonder if SpaceX will also open up their portfolio now that they have also been filing and being granted many patents in recent years(1), as NASA did in 2016(2) and as Tesla did in 2014. I think it would help other space startups innovate further toward the SpaceX mission of making humans interplanetary, much like Tesla opening up their portfolio helped to progress sustainable transport.
