I was wondering that too actually. I assume because the number of Canon DSLR owners is masssssssive compared to the number of Blackmagic camera owners, it makes sense for them to put their efforts into where it'll be most used.
Even Nikon firmware hacks are almost non-existent (you can remove the 30 minute video restriction and use non-brand batteries are the only two hacks I know of so far).
So to be honest I don't like our chances. And Blackmagic firmware might be encrypted, I'm not sure.
Canon never opened their firmware for hacking but sometimes the Canon programmers leave hints that may be aimed at the Magic Lantern team. Although they don't try to fight it either, except for their 1d series. They've been un-officially quoted that they would 'bring the might of its legal team' if anyone tries to mod the 1d series firmware.
