This is interesting wording, because it is perfectly possible to write an ebook reader that maintains B&N DRM without using any B&N/Adobe code and without a license from B&N or Adobe (there are 3rd party readers with such a license from B&N and/or Adobe, which partially explains the wording). So far as I can tell,
iReader is actually an Android-based Reader that does exactly that (read DRMed eReader and MOBI ebooks without permission of the DRM producer) although not, yet, for ePub. It is almost certainly illegal in the US to write, or make available, this app. I have seen posts suggesting that such reverse engineering would be legal in some European countries, but I don't know if that is actually the case.
