The difference is:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=bcmwl-kernel-source
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=linux-firmware-nonfree

You see restricted VS multiverse.

Probably when Canonical get some law suit, they are argue that
multiverse stuff is done by the community so that they don't need to
take the blame.

The graphical driver helper tools created for Ubuntu has policy of
pull stuff in main or restricted section IIRC.
