Look at the license agreement for the PalmOS SDK. See the part that goes:
>>>>
The Software contains certain sample source code in the
form of example applications (including several conduits) and code
fragments (both in the source code files and documentation provided
hereunder), and may include a tutorial application (collectively, "Sample
Source Code"). You may use the Sample Source Code internally to develop
products for Palm Computing platform products. You may distribute any such
products built with the Sample Source Code, provided that you include the
following copyright notice within your source code and in the location of
your own copyright notice: "Portions copyright (c) 2000 Palm, Inc. or its
subsidiaries. All rights reserved."
<<<<
This covers the address book code -- it is allowed to use it in a commercial
product if the copyright disclosure is observed, although you won't be able
to redistribute modified source code from the PalmOS SDK, just compiled
binaries, if I read it correctly.
