So why din't they? Did they just not read the gpl?

Uhm, you are kidding, right? First the name: 'GNU tools' has nothing to
do with GPL (GNU public license)? 

And where did you get the information that the tools are based on 
CodeWarrior? The archive i downloaded from handsprings web site 
contains files like 'palm-gcc' and 'palm-gdb'. Unless Codewarrior
was renamed to gcc/gdb, this archive is based to 99% on gpl'd source 
code.
