There code is available at: http://meraki.net/linux

Before you go there and try to download it, understand that, I haven't look
at the code for their latest hardware but if they are still using Click
(routing platform, BSD/MIT License and partially GPL) and created their own
element (the mesh routing algorithm implementation). What ever element they
created/change, it fall under BSD and no longer GPL so they do not have to
distribute their "algorithm implementation" which exist as an element in
Click, which what they have been doing.

So in short, you will not get their "mesh algorithm" is what it look to me.
But anything else fall under GPL they have to make it available so in this
case, OpenWRT, Click etc...

No. That deal came and went unfortunately.

No. And they seem to be back peddling a little on that as 'commercial
realities' set in. They are still open sourcing everything they have to,
but some new code seems to be closed.

work?

No. AFAIK it never was. You can configure them individually and they'll
work. They do try and call home though as that is their preferred way of
central management, configuration and reporting.
