If the FCC hadn't already completely knobbish and basically eliminated
(or least required one to be much more determined and skilled) the
ability to use OpenWrt/LEDE on new routers in the US anyway, I might
have some objection (I'm not in the US but Canada will almost certainly
adopt similar legislation since our government tends to do what the US
wants, putzes that they are) on the grounds of leading to trouble.

As it is, for new wireless routers, the US, and probably soon Canada,
are shut out from participating in OpenWrt/LEDE anyway, it's pretty much
moot point for those of us here, and in sane parts of the world it makes
sense.

Regards,

Daniel
