You will be required to make a backup of your existing closed source apps and restore them to whatever custom build you select. Cyanogen himself CAN'T do that -- that he WAS doing so is the cause for the whole problem.
And FYI: the sky is NOT FALLING. Nothing much is changing, just adding one extra step to the custom rom install process -- on first boot restore backup of closed source apps off sdcard or whatever. This is just to keep the lawyers happy.
