I am interested in seeing more open router firmware variants. If the open SSL debacle has thought us anything it is that more eyes on the code is better but alternative implementations are better.

Not wanting to play devils advocate tho...I was reading through a few academic journals on Coredemia and I came across this one from Ken Thompson: Reflections On Trusting Trust http://www.ece.cmu.edu/~ganger/712.fall02/papers/p761-thomps...

In the paper Ken looks into potential vulnerability in compliers. He shows a trivial way that code can be manipulated and a trojan house could be injected into code by a vulnerable complier. His point is that checking the source code is not enough.

Ps. I found out about Coredemia in HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8061166
