Right; personally I'd be quite happy if the EOL process was "here's all the needed source code to build a kernel and trivial userland, and steps to build and flash a firmware image that boots a busybox shell but doesn't have our management binaries" and then let the community do whatever they want (since that's basically what you want in order to repurpose the thing or build OpenWRT for it).

They should already provide sources for all the GPL licensed bits to be compliant - build scripts and bootloader keys are usually the biggest problem.
