Just bought a TP-Link TL-MR3420 3G/3.75G Wireless N Router (the kind
that accepts a 3G or EVDO USB modem), and the first thing that fell on
my hand when I opened it...
... is a printed copy of GPL!
I wonder what GPLicensed software this access point uses... anyone knows?
Rgds,

Most routers, nas devices, TVs, toasters run a modified or sometimes not
modified version of linux (Debian, Slackware etc.) with stock daemons
providing their funktionality.

My guess:
Linux kernel wth the iptables stack and tools.
Maybe also a few other things, like a DHCP-server and a DNS-cache.
I've seen this as well and you should either have a list of software used or a
way to download the source-code from the manufacturers website:
