The legality of re-distributing the leaked source is questionable at best.

LOL no shit. I'll steer well clear of that one I think.

Ideally IP laws would be such that this would be considered public domain by now. The game came out in 1995, so it's almost 30 years old and Sony isn't selling it anymore. Surely that was a long enough legal protection.
