Actually what they are saying is
"so that third parties are not able to reprogram the device to operate outside the parameters for which the device was certified.”
keyword is "certified" they are talking about the radio and the ability to make it interfere with other radios and wifi networks via software changes.
openwrt and piratebox etc do not make changes to the functionality of the radio output so they will be fine and not affected by these proposed changes.
