The source code itself doesn't do anything. It's just a written description of something. The description of a patent is publicaly available, as it's the principle of patents. So another description is as legal as the patent itself. But I might be wrong as I'm not a lawyer. Either Christina Bonner (current licensing coordinator for AAC ) or her predecessor (who also send me a nice letter in the past) never contradicted me on this point.
