If you think we have something to worry about when it comes to hacking HTC phones, then I don't know what to tell you. But I will point out that for all of the talk about how hard it is to hack them, every single one has been hacked, with most of them being hacked before it was even released. If HTC was trying to put a stop to that, it would have been stopped years ago.
Not only could HTC implement the e-fuse that would essentially kill all hacking if they wanted to, but they would be issuing orders to sites like this one and xda that openly pass their Sense software around. The fact that none of that has happened over the years should tell you that there is nothing to worry about.
Correction- it did not take a month+ to get hard spl on the Touch Pro 2. The GSM version had hard spl shortly after release. The CDMA version took so long because the people who worked on it refused to release it until they had a licensing system in place and a way to charge for it. There was a working version without a licensing system for a while before that but nobody was allowed to share it because it was considered warez. That was a dark time, lol.

You are correct about the licencing, and I was speaking of the cdma tp2. Still, the tp2 was more difficult than it's predicecesors. Now the phones are getting even more difficult.
Wasn't it htc that tried to shut down shipped roms last year?
