I'm not sure if it's fake or not, but HTC does technically have rights to issue such a cease and desist. These ROMs are not for Android devices only so the open source argument is unfortunately moot. Also, even on the Android devices, there is proprietary software included on them, such as HTC Sense. Also, I'm pretty sure when the letter refers to "artwork" it may be referring to the sample photos and wallpapers that they include on a lot of their shipped devices.

Edit: Either way, I'm rooting for conflipper... he's helped out a lot of people in this community...
