Would it be legal to copy and publish the actual description of a patent,
as filed in the patent office.

Would it be legal for someone to publish a more elaborated description of
what a particular invention actually means, including all of the patent
filing, and re-expressing it first so that others can understand it?

What if the others happen to be machines?
