Go right to the company you want to flash to and from(This is mandatory as of 2013). Read this: https://s3.amazonaws.com/public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2012-26308.pdf
In short it's illegal to unlock & flash to a different service provider with out permission from current/future provider. Thread should be locked as this is a ho/hum tabu thing now.

They are an MVNO for both GSM and CDMA. Look at the link below. While they don't say it directly, they make it clear they also operate on the Verizon Network: Straight Talk - LG Optimus Zip

99.9% of the Roms are all based on open source code; which adheres to the GPL. The open source code has nothing to do with the FCC regulation. Switching carriers yourself is tabu yes; mainly because it's now a Law, you can't without permission from said carriers.
Edit: Just did some research and there is some good news though. Early this month a new Bill has passed its first stage;The Unlocking Consumer Choice and Wireless Competition Act gives us the consumer the ability to legally do whatever the F*** we want to our devices. So with that said there is still light @ the end of the tunnel.
