Which Open-Source license did Elon Musk choose for the Hyperloop?

Surprisingly, I can find no mention of license/patent/rights in the Hyperloop Alpha PDF published by Musk in 2013. In a tweet, Musk stated:

I really hate patents unless critical to company survival. Will publish Hyperloop as open source.

I sent an email to hyperloop@teslamotors.com inquiring. I'll update this answer if I hear back.

    I originally searched that PDF along with Google, Wikipedia etc. I just now searched again, but still found nothing. It seems pretty obvious that he does not have a profit motive - I believe he just wants the idea to benefit society. So I was curious which licence he felt was best for this sort of altruism. – John R Apr 18 '15 at 2:14
