(This is my personal opinion, I'm not a collaborator) This is also a question that is better for the dev list.
My personal opinion is that if it's a verbatim port from the referencesource on github, that you shouldn't be precluded from contributing. Anything beyond that would be questionable I would imagine. You have to remember that the referencesource isn't the same decompiled source from previous versions. I'm not sure where the patent promise would sit in that instance. I know a few people who fell under this same rule, so I would like to see some clarity too.
