This is not true, I know a bunch of people that are very upset. And right they are.
The thing is, if you (as a company) want to stay serious, you just cannot charge for a firmware. Since it is part of the product you already paid for, which would not be of any use without it.
Besides that, you can charge for any kind of additional software no doubt.
To sum up my statement:
No payment for firmware implementations. Possible for additional software.
But that should not mean, that obvious basic functionality should be left out to be then sold seperately (like automatic key-lock on my N73

).
