And they are breaking the GPL by refusing to release the source and
actively going after people (including Google) that share the firmware.
They have also implemented a mechanism that locks a specific download
of the firmware to a specific router (by MAC and serial number).
Here is a slashdot article (I can't find the other site I read about a
bunch of this stuff)...

I personally wouldn't send them my money
