It's fully legal. However, Jinke and any other manufacturers (Bookeen, Sony etc) can refuse to support/repair your device (in theory).

Will OpenInkpot run on any device, or just on specific devices?

That's the idea
But realistically, we are restricted to hardware our developers have access to. (which is pretty much most of the eink devices on the market at the moment, apart from the Iliad & the Netronix/Astak range)

I like the idea very much! Does it mean that we can achieve more features on a device than the official features? For example, if a device does not support X file format originally, but we install OpenInkpot, can we read the X file format, despite that the device doesn't support it officially?

Exactly! If you wanted support for say postscript, or ODF (why would you? :P), you can in theory write a plugin to add support for that
