The firmware contains proprietary software. Not just nickel, but the Adobe RMSDK, Overdrive libraries and more. Plus other licensed files such as dictionaries and fonts. Distributing any of that without permission is illegal.

The firmware updates contain the same things. But, they are hosted by Kobo and supposedly only accessed by software created by Kobo.
