Mukund,
The DSL604T source is available, but for DSL502, I did not find any. Further DSL502 has few binary files in flash for which no source is available. These files are basically CGI files, used to update flash data. I am not sure if D-link India guys ever heard of GPL.
I think DLink doesnt need to open source for the CGI Files, but overall they should relase source code of the based operating system and all other GNU - GPLed components they are using, including the kernel.
DSL 502T was available. I had downloaded the sources. I think it was from the australian site. Dlink does offer excellent support imo, and the call center guys at least knew what they were saying. Too bad someone in management is clueless. There is a downside to the company in permitting reprogramming. However holding back code is illegal and immoral. Having a permanent counter in hardware would be fairly simple.
