Yeah, Linksys appears to be trying fairly hard to do the right thing, but they're caught between the GPL and some federal laws mandating that software radios are closed source (so nobody can tamper with them and cause radio interference, which can be dangerous). The last message from the FSF suggested that everybody's trying to find a reasonable solution.
