Here is how RMerlin explains the GPL's he gets from Asus:Asus just released GT-AX11000_3.0.0.4_388_24444 firmware. Is this firmware newer then this alpha from Merlin?
I get code directly from Asus, it's unrelated to what's released on their website. I have particular requirements that their developers need to meet when preparing the archives, like having the same code base for all models, which is rarely the case with their own firmware releases.
