At least, wouldn’t they be able to pick and choose certain items to copy and innovate on in order to save some portion of RnD costs?

Nothing. That’s (ostensibly) the point. Musk didn’t want to stifle the technology. He wants the major firms to be able to make these cars for the betterment of the world (again, ostensibly).
Note: As the first commenter pointed out, Tesla could still sue; they still have the rights, but they’ve said they won’t pursue lawsuits against those who use the tech “in good faith”. So my “nothing” isn’t exactly correct. They’ve just claimed they won’t enforce it.
Edit: I curious why I’m being downvoted? I only gave the reason Elon gave for being open source. Am I wrong? Or do people just hate Elon so much they have to downvote people who repeat things he said? I never meant to claim the above as fact; only that it was what he claimed.
