The legality of hspl

I'm a bit confused about how "legal" this is. I was under the impression that this whole custom ROM business was pretty much frowned upon by the manufacturer's and was essentially a hack.

Now with all the talk about "licensing" and the "licensing servers", I'm very confused. Who is doing the licensing? HTC? Why would they cooperate? Are they cooperating in some sense? Anyone with more knowledge about what exactly is meant by licensing it and what the role of the manufacturers are, it would be appreciated. Thanks!
