I assume that ASUS routers are based on Linux, so shouldn't the source for these routers be readily available? I am able to find custom third party mods (asuswrt-merlin) but I can't actually find a clear copy of the original sources!

This is very common when I look to find source for embedded devices like this. What I expect is the next step is that you will find (or be given) a borderline useless blob of source that doesn't explain any of it's build process, which is absurd because the GPL clearly defines the build "glue" as part of the source.

Is ASUS another company that is doing a poor job of GPL compliance in this space?

Is it intentional?
