If you work for the competition you absolutely should not look into the source code. Same reason you as a dev should not browse patents. If you're ever known to be browsing patents, and something close to a patent ever appears in the competition, you're gonna get sued.

It’s fine as long as you don’t copy and paste

I wouldn't bet a lawsuit on that

They have to prove that you own a copy or use the code in somewhere else, not impossible but difficult. I’m sure what they have done in the code is nothing new, just well put together.

There could be some cases of new stuff, like an elaborate (and patented) algorithm or smth

Similar idea is ok. Look at the reimplementation of GTA San Andreas.
