I did two of them actually.
I have no problem charging the iPhone with a regular USB charger and no problems charging my two Sonies with the Apple charger and the oldest USB cable I could find.
I am positive that Apple could not use the USB connectors in the charger and at one end of the cable UNLESS the licensing terms were observed.
Maybe your unsuccessful attempts are due to the USB cables themselves - there are many flavours now, in some transparent ones I could see there are no DATA lines so the signalling fails (if it counts), maybe others have already the signalling resistors in place.
As a matter of fact, the only issues I have in my home, filled up with lots of gadgets to my wife's despair, is that some of them came only with charging-cables, that is they do not support data exchange - I marked those cables to avoid them when I need to transfer data between devices.
