2 ThinkPenguin's wireless routers are still listed on the relevant FSF RYF page[1] but they're no longer available on thinkpenguin.com. Product page links are dead.

Anyone knows what is the reason?

Any idea where else I could buy a LibreCMC-supported router without using nonfree js?

I'd say vikings.net but they're in maintenance mode.

Buy a compatible LibreCMC device and flash it yourself:
https://librecmc.org/librecmc/downloads/snapshots/v1.5.5/targets/ath79/generic/

BTW, I have a GL-inet one. TP-Link could be a good option too.

Where to buy it without non-free javascript? I reckon, there is no place...

I have one TPE-1200. It was useful but I don't use it anymore so I can sell it. It's a little beat up, though. You would not need js enabled.

By the way, I found this article on Thinkpenguin's website.

I don't really understand why "The FBI had added servers and capacity and incentives pedophiles to access and download child pornography".
Anyway, it looks like six activists have been arrested.

I sent you an email via forum.

Thanks for pointing this out to us!

Seems that sometimes when law enforcements take over servers distributing child porn they don't shut these down but instead keep them up and running to use them as honeypots for pedophiles

I think you should ask ThinkPenguin: https://www.thinkpenguin.com/contact.

OK, problem resolved. Old router models are out of stock and discontinued while a new model is already in stock but waiting for FSF to announce its certification (which should happen this week). Response from ThinkPenguin:

Yea, tell him it's temporary and they'll be a new model, TPE-R1300
sometime this week. It's the FSF holding things up at this point, and in
part our failure to submit it for certification significantly prior to
the new stock coming and the old model being discontinued.
