Given they couldn't be arsed to spell the misleading headline correctly, I'm sure they were more interested in posting the link first than writing accurate headlines.
dd-wrt is specifically mentioned by the FCC on Page 2 of the pdf:
"What prevents third parties from loading non-US versions of the software/firmware on the device? Describe in detail how the device is protected from “flashing” and the installation of third-party firmware such as DD-WRT. 6"
Why should the FCC care about being able to flash dd-wrt on a router?

Or they want to make sure that the NSA always has their backdoors installed.
Take your pick.
