If they don't include the source with the router, they have to include
an offer to _anybody_ to get the source.  However, there's no
requirement to distribute it over the Internet; they can distribute it
on CD and charge to cover the cost.

They either have to include the source or an offer; simply pointing at
the original place they got the source from (e.g. kernel.org) is only
allowed for noncommercial distribution.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
