   @mikrotik Does that router come with a written offer?
   
   I see I can downloading the latest version of routerOS from here; https://download.mikrotik.com/routeros/7.18.1/routeros-7.18.1-mipsbe.npk but there is no written offer for the source code.
   
   `binwalk -e routeros-7.18.1-mipsbe.npk` finds a squashfs-root partition and is quite clearly a BusyBox/Linux partition.
   
   There is quite a bit of GPLv2 software there, including bin/sshfs and Linux modules,
   
   There are also these proprietary derivative works of Linux; etc/ar7100-7.18.1.fwf etc/ar9330-7.18.1.fwf etc/ar9340-7.18.1.fwf etc/ar9344-7.18.1.fwf etc/fan_i2c.stm32 etc/pse-ch4-RB960.samd20 etc/pse-ch8-CRS328.samd20 etc/qca8513L-7.18.1.fwf etc/qca9531-7.18.1.fwf etc/qca9550-7.18.1.fwf
   etc/ar7240-7.18.1.fwf etc/ar9330L-7.18.1.fwf etc/ar9340L-7.18.1.fwf etc/ar9344L-7.18.1.fwf etc/poe-pse-proxy.stm32 etc/pse-ch8-CRS112.samd20 etc/qca8513-7.18.1.fwf etc/qca8719L-7.18.1.fwf etc/qca9531L-7.18.1.fwf etc/qca9550L-7.18.1.fwf
   
   Where is the written offer for the source code and when can I get the complete-corresponding source code?

     as the top comment nicely puts it, how else are you going to flush the IP tables? 😂
