Not every jurisdiction allows computer programs or algorithms to be patented.
Having said that, a jurisdiction such as the US that allows software to be patented, already doesn't require source code as part of the patent application/regsitration/grant process.
Good luck trying to invalidate every active software patent existing as on date with this clause. Ain't gonna happen!
