So what is DrayOS? Is it unix-like? Linux derivative? Written from the ground up?

I too would like to see open source firmware for Draytek. So what are these 'commercial downsides' of open source software?

If a manufacturer put lots of resources (i.e. cash) in to developing a proprietary operating system for their router product, it doesn't make commerical sense for them to release that into the to the community for a competitor to pick up and create rival products.
Personally, I'd love to see DrayOS released to (and fixed by!) the general public but I don't think it's going to happen.
