M50 II Firmware onto a M50

[summitrn]

It appears the M50 II is the exact same hardware with a firmware upgrade. Would it be possible to imagine the firmware off of a M50 II and then load it on the M50?

No.

Even if they had the exact same hardware, flashing the firmware from a different camera model would be copyright infringement.

Have you read your quote and understood it fully? It's still applicable to binary (compiled) form of that program.

Also, assumption that EU law works around the world...
