Well, it went almost perfectly.
Cool, I assume you used this method? – http://expressionengine.com/wiki/Export_Entries/ – If so, maybe one day you could write up a little how-to on your new TxP site.
Thanks for filling us in on the licensing issues, makes one want to build an EE export business ;)

Re: Migrate from EE to Textpattern? Advice? Help?
Hi Mary,
Yes, my categories all migrated, but without the parent/child relationship and as ‘unfiled’. So, I have multiple unfiled categories. I’m not well versed enough in ee to know what I needed to change to capture the relationship, I just followed the (apparently partial) instructions on the ee forums and wiki. I was able to figure out that I needed to change a few site specific things to match mine, though.
As you can probably determine, the parent category is the first one; the second category is the child.
Here is a portion of the import file from ee:
