The routing hardware is controlled by unavailable drivers. You
would have a low-powered appliance that doesn't route.

But even that wasn't an issue  -- buying hardware from a company that
doesn't take minimal steps to comply with the terms of the licenses that
they are directly benefitting from? I don't think that's a good move.

It's not like these are x86 boxes where you can replace things ad-hoc.
