I don't know that it's really an equivalent move though, partially because they did it second, and partially because I think the motive is different. Tesla opened their patents so that people will use technology that's compatible with their energy supply system (I think, it's a good long term move) . Ford seems to be doing it as a reaction to Tesla, and I don't think they are going to be able to compete effectively in the battery market.
