| I hear openwrt is much more open than the dd-wrt community these days.

From
<https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=44218>

	DD-WRT is using closed-source wl driver (they have access to
	the source, so can compile it against any kernel).

I understand that because BrainSlayer has signed NDAs, he can
support Broadcom chipsets better than OpenWRT.

OpenWRT's (human) organization is much more to my liking so I try to
avoid Broadcom chips.

It strikes me that <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DD-WRT> seems
santized.  <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:DD-WRT> is worth a look.
It includes the phrase "GPL terrorism".
