Source code is not tainted beyond reproach after the patent expires in the existing patent system, though the source code does reverts to whatever copyright the producer might have.
Source code that's been patented under the proposed system becomes open source at the expiration of the patent; the covered source code or the escrow source code becomes open source code under the proposed system.
Pointing these details out can be quite useful; it definitely helps refine ideas or elevator pitches.
