I missed a crucial bit in your example.

I didnt read that line. If you read my previous mail with that in
mind, my mail should make sense. :)

If anyone buys that router they then should be given a copy of the
GPL and an offer of source code at cost, yes. If they give the router
to someone else, that someone else can demand source. If the person
with the router copies the software from it, knowing it is GPLed, and
gives it to someone else, that someone else also should be able to
avail of the offer. etc.
