Probably not.  We still need to sit down and figure exactly what 
patented methods will end up in the final project.  Unlike Copyright, 
there's no fair-use provision with patents.  At this point all we can 
really do is show off the end-result, but not produce plans that would 
allow anyone to do it.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
