Why does router phone home?

This is remanent of project Turris history. Originally it was reasearch project and routers were given away for free under a contract. This script you see is checking if given router is under contract. The usecase is to automatically register router for data collection. I can look into it if we are able to drop it on omnia. But in general we are working on new data collection system that is going to be more open and less dependent on exact settings on router. With introduction of new data collection system all these remanents are going to be droppped.
