Providing the licence issues are cleared up, what is wrong with what
DD-WRT is doing? How is it any different to Red Hat or Novell or whoever
taking all the hard work of free software authors and putting it in
boxes with licence fees?

There's nothing wrong with making money from open source/free software.
Granted it's better if you can do it in a way which doesn't annoy the
people doing the work, but if it does they will stop feeding you their
work and your job will be much harder. It all balances out.

Cheers,
