+== Were there any technical reasons to split from OpenWrt?

+Nothing special, expect that LEDE wants to focus more on stability and not so much on bleeding edge any more.
+The release process should be better automatized and the release should be better tested.

 == Is LEDE represented by any Company or Industry organization?
 
 No, LEDE is not affiliated with any specific company or any industry organization.
 
 == The company I work for uses LEDE and wants to support the project. What should we do?
 
-The best support is that you allow and encourage your employees to contribute the changes you did internally back to the LEDE project.
-If you are a chip vendor for example adding support for your chips to LEDE would be a nice.
-This way others can also benefit from your changes and you reduce your maintenance cost, because you need less patches when using more recent versions of LEDE.
+Companies can best support LEDE by upstreaming the required code to support their products,
+any platform support code, patch submissions or even just detailed specifications are most appreciated.
+
+Upstreaming product support also benefits the company in the long run as ongoing maintenance and
+porting effort decreases over time while the amount of internally required changes can be reduced.
 
 == Are there plans to license LEDE under a different License?
 
 There are no plans to change the license of the LEDE code. It should be easy to copy code from and to OpenWrt.

 == What license does LEDE use?
 
 The build system and many LEDE components are licensed under the GNU General Public License Version 2. Some parts are licensed under different licenses, this is mostly the case for packages not created in LEDE or OpenWrt.
