Yes you are allowed to see the source code.
Unfortunately some of the code is generated by a compiler generator
also available from the alphaworks web site. At least when I checked it
some weeks ago the source code for the compiler generator was not available
and the license was different.

SmallEiffel (http://www.loria.fr/projets/SmallEiffel/) also generates
Java byte codes and it's free and comes with source code.
