So if I understand correctly, everything in these ROMs is in the clear with the licenses, and all I have to do is get over my hesitancy to dive in and risk a brick. (Fortunately I've read enough to realize that things can be done to overcome when things can go badly.) Thanks for your help.

Correct, don't let that letter that took Mighty Mike's site down trouble you any. There have been hoax letters of that type sent for a long time. If MS REALLY had a problem with these ROMs, you'd see this entire Upgrades section of this forum be shut down. The folks here at PPCGeeks have done their homework, to ensure MS is not trying to come down on what is being done here. Actually, we custom ROM users do MS a favor by being unofficial beta-testers
.
The only issue you'll have, is that your carrier prefers that you use the stock ROM they gave you. All that amounts to, is that they won't provide in-store service for your device
(as in customer support should you have a problem) while it's running a custom ROM or unlocked. So if you ever have hardware problems, flash back to stock, re-lock and then you can get support from them if you choose to involve them.
