Question To Palm Over SDK Agreement @ 2009-07-17 20:41:24

I am not a lawyer, but when I read the TOS agreement I feel like it is saying that if you use the SDK you can not reimplement any of the tools ...

I know this is a general email but I'm going to reply back with my question
anyway just in case it's read :-) ...

I'm an open source developer (and not a lawyer), and after looking over the
terms for using the SDK it *seems* like it states that someone like me could
not write an open source implementation of palm-generate or other tools
(100% from scratch) if I use the SDK. Is this correct? I'd love to start
writing applications for my pre! ... but I also don't want to tie my hands up
if I do want to do a free software palm-generate clone.

Thanks!
