I think you're focusing too much on what is technically a violation of the law or not. It comes down to what hurts the project's image. This is all about image, at least for situations where that image can have a major impact on the Kodi project, and not just in a superficial way.
One can and has hurt the Kodi project's image. The other, well, no one cares. Yes, it's really that shallow, but no one cares. Sega and Nintendo don't even care (at least, not enough for them to really do anything major about it). If they did then maybe it would be different. The more controversial a topic is the more something like Kodi will distance itself from.
If there's no controversy and it seems legal as best anyone can tell? Then it's okay. There may be exceptions to that, but that's the general idea.
- Video add-on/service/whatever that is in a legal gray area because of how people define "streaming" vs downloading, but is still pretty much viewed as pirating or stealing by most people.
- A bunch of game ROMs that have been deemed as abandoned.
