Provisional patent applications - there is no such thing as a provisional patent - are intellectual property, and as such, you can do with them whatever you want. While the USPTO has a duty to maintain provisional patent applications secret until, for example, a non-provisional or PCT patent application is filed and published, I believe that the inventors have a right to publicize their provisional patent applications as they may seem fit.
