Would think so, but IANAL and I'm not sure about the legality of it. Infringement occurs whenever you make, sell or use the invention without license. Distributing plans seems like it would contribute to infringement, so some enterprising lawyer could make a case for it. It's like linking to infringing copyrighted content. I recall a story about a guy who blogged about coding up a shazaam clone and then receiving a C&D from the patent owner. It was never settled whether he had any grounds to do so, but sending C&Ds is cheap and mostly consequence-free.
