> “Covered application store” means a publicly available internet website, software application, online service, or platform that distributes and facilitates the download of applications from third-party developers to users of a computer, a mobile device, or any other general purpose computing that can access a covered application store or can download an application.

So OpenWRT would be covered since they allow the user to download packages (ie software) via apk/opkg.

Awesome!



Quite possibly, yes. Though maybe a router wouldn't qualify as a general purpose computing device, and maybe the packages wouldn't qualify as being from third-party developers when the binaries that get downloaded are both built and distributed by OpenWRT.


OpenWRT has a shell. Under the hood it’s just Linux.

If you put it on an x86 box you can attach keyboard and monitor.
