Sorry, this is absolutely the wrong thing to do.

We've already seen how having a integrated hw + sw solution combined with execution has lead to success for Apple.

Palm has the sw + hw piece (for the most part), they just really need to execute well which they have not done to date.

Licensing the OS is just going to add fragmentation as well as delay the release process as now they would have to synchronize with carriers as well as phone manufacturers.
