Stop deleting critical files
Netgear, you are a massive corporation.
please stop taking down software repositories without warning.
for expert users, you’ve rendered some approaches and features useless on the ReadyNAS line by taking linux repos offline, and by ceasing to host GPL source images.
poor show, please do better.

Appears to me all (at least the ones I checked ad-hoc) on NETGEAR Open Source Code for Programmers (GPL) are gone.

I have 6.10.9, but am looking for 6.10.7, 6.10.8 and 6.10.10. I suspect they are similar but would like to know for sure.

I have 6.10.9, and a few earlier. Looking for 6.10.7, 6.10.8, and 6.10.10, but suspect they are similar.

I agree that they should have left them up. FWIW, my understanding was the GPL needed to be hosted as long as the firmware download for that release was hosted. But I could be wrong about that.
Wayback has gpl source for 6.10.5 (nothing later)
