The license I agreed upon does *not* contain any terms that restricts
its use for open source software. Quite the contrary, the SDK includes
sample source code that you are free to *modify* and *distribute*
provided you include a notice saying "Portions copyright (c) 2000 Palm,
Inc. or its subsidiaries. All rights reserved."
That is, they include their own "open source" software within the SDK
itself, so I think they would have a hard time to argue that other open
source software violates their licence.
