Of course with all/most US routers generally taking only signed ROMs, it's mostly useless to even have the code.

I wish they'd just create something closer to tomato than the flashy, less useful interfaces.

That problem is called TiVoization. It’s addressed with the 3rd version of the GPL. Sadly, Linus is adamantly against that clause.

He also has refused to release any of his projects under GPLv3 (or even “v2 or later”).

Unfortunately, it's come out from the FCC, not just the hardware companies in this case, and it really sucks... Raally need to drain the swamp in the FCC.

Which is too bad because CDDL is compatible with GPLv3 thus that would make integration of ZFS possible
