Turns out they actually had prepared the GPL source archive at the time
of firmware release (actually some days before based on the file
timstamps), but for some reason it's not yet published by Netgear.

A post turned up today where they "leaked" the needed information out
from a an restricted part of the community forum, detailing where the
GPL sources for the current firmware can be found:

http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=35&t=22468#p123471

which links to

http://www.readynas.com/download/GPL/RNR4_RND4_RND2_4.1.4_WW_src.zip

which is the missing GPL source archive.

This archive do also include the previously missing buzybox and avahi
sources.

I have no information as to why this file has not yet been published by
Netgear at their normal location..
