Actually it doesn't matter whether they have a rooted phone.  This is one of the big reasons for moving to this over forward locking -- forward locking requires trusting the device and its operating system to protect the app.  With the new licensing model, the app does not need to have any trust in the device it is running on or the market client app.  This gets rid of all of the issues that forward locking has with apps not showing up on devices that were not whitelisted/trusted.
