[Sheflug] GPL software ?



Hi, 
 
I've recently put an Draytek Vigor 2600 router on an ADSL connection 
http://www.draytek.com.tw 
http://www.draytek.com.tw/english/product/vigor2600_x_w_we.php 
and downloaded the firmware from  
ftp://ftp.draytek.com.tw/VIGOR2600/RELEASE/2.5/FIRMWARE/ANNEXA_FOR_UK_2.zip 
 
and done a strings on the firmware grepping for 'linux' 
 
aland [at] butter:~/downloads/draytek> strings V2K6K250.RST | grep linux 
linux%@) 
linux 
 
Does this mean its running Linux ( not surprising really )?  Can I work out 
which kernel?  
 
There's nothing in the manual or web site to suggest that they use open source 
code in their routers.
