Source for Arlo base station VMB3010

I have an Arlo system which is marked VMB3010 on the base, and it VMB3010r2 when it gets new firmware.

I can't see any source for it on the Netgear site:

Where is it available?

It may simply be that it's not Linux/open-source-based. The lack of listing may be an oversight or a clue.

It's eCos and has plenty of opensource components in it.

The source for the base station is not labelled correctly. It is under VMB3000.

Which one though?

This is the VMB3000 1.4.2695 label, but the filename suggests something else:

http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GPL/VZC3000-V1.0.2.34_1.0.49_IPCam_src.tar.gz

This one is labelled right, but is it the right board:

http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GPL/VMB3000_V1.2.1728.tar.gz

And the version I have on my board is 1.4.2695, so it's not available...

Also, looking at the firmware running on the board itself, there is a binary called vzdaemon which appears to use libmicrohttpd statically, and that's GPL licensed. The source of that should also be available, and isn't.
