To be as clear as possible: I do not suggest to use his code without his consent. What I think about is to provide (JAL) code with the same functionality as his code/chips. But only if we can do this in a legal way. So: No, nothing illegal. But: Yes, he might sell less chips. At least he won't sell all the chips used. But he might sell more chips when this app makes his protocol more popular - there will be people who prefer to buy the pcb+chip in stead of make them.
