its complicated..see you can't just go out and "buy" wp7 license yourself..its only available to oems...
Now I am not saying porting WP7 to HD2 is ok..M$ just "tolerates it"..simple because they get money either way...if anything I think winmo licences are more expensive then wp7 ones...it kinda falls in a "gray area"..
unfortunately loading up their OS for free on a competitors phone when M$ does not make a penny is a different story..you aren't their customer..they have no reason to hold back their
hounds lawyers...
To give an example...imagine you have 25$ enterprise license, and $15 pro license...someone buys your 25$ license and uses your $15 pro software.. would you care? not too much to go out of your way...
now if i pirate your software for free with 0 licenses..I think you'd care...
