Last week we reported on the rumor that HTC’s Sense interface could soon be making its way to existing Android phones, but sadly due to licensing terms this now seems extremely unlikely.

That’s right, even though my G1 and the MyTouch/Magic are made and developed by HTC, you’ll find it also says Google on the back. Being a Google-branded product apparently precludes the Magic and G1 from using the Sense UI featured on the HTC Hero.
Licensing restrictions “with Google” branded handsets sold by T-Mobile and Vodafone (G1, Magic, myTouch 3G), prevent HTC from offering the new Sense user interface as an upgrade.
