One of the routers I have is proprietary but checking it more closely it looks like it is actually OpenWRT even if the ISP, in violation of many licenses, does not provide the source code for it and the many tools it contains. I suppose that if I were to open it up and poke around with an oscilloscope I could probably end up finding the contacts for a serial console. It would be best if the ISP simply worked with the upstream project and acknowledged the license they have agreed to.
