As a Mikrotik devote, I love the active development and patches being pushed for their Packages and RouterBoard. If anyone maintains a Mikrotik router and/or switches and hasn't heard about the vulnerability and actively patched their systems, then they're completely at fault and putting themselves and possibly they're companies at risk.

Honest question: how's their GPL compliance these days?

Some info here: https://forum.lede-project.org/t/mikrotik-gpl-source/6750/12

Which led to this repo: https://github.com/robimarko/routeros-GPL

It's also extremely easy to update RouterOS these days : a couple of clicks in winbox and reboot, for example.

Just make sure that you don't end up downloading a few DLLs you weren't expecting.
