Consumer impact summary
Since around 2017, hardware has been locked down with SecureBoot.[2][3] Hardware released before 2017, without SecureBoot enabled, or with SecureBoot exploits may be reflashable to OpenWrt.[4]
The company was previously friendly to open-source.[4][5][6]
Its software stack contains open source (GPL) code, but the company delays releasing source code,[7][8] and/or releases source code that doesn't build.[9][8]
Devices without active licensing, or devices that do not support third party firmware, become e-waste.
Some models may brick if tampered with.[10]
