This issue was raised on the pqa-dev-forum a few weeks back and helped to point
out that Palm Computing, Inc.
hadn't made widely available any guidelines for web clipping in regards to
copyrights.  The following
paragraph should help clarify concerns with web clipping and copyrights:

Retrieving content available on the web and redistributing that content without
the express permission given by
the content owner constitutes copyright infringement, whether or not you provide
 attribution and whether or not the
software is distributed for free.  You must first get the permission of the
copyright owner, which may or may not be
the website where the content is posted, to clip the content and provide it to
Palm device users.  Also, that website
from which the content is being retrieved may only have a license to use such
content without a right to further
sublicense the content to other sites.

Make sure you have all necessary rights to reproduce, modify, display or
distribute any material subject to any
third party copyrights or other intellectual property rights.
