The OpenWrt project is perhaps the most widely known Linux-based distribution for home WiFi routers and access points; it was spawned from the source code of the now-famous Linksys WRT54G router more than 12 years ago. In early May, the OpenWrt user community was thrown into a fair amount of confusion when a group of core OpenWrt developers announced that they were starting a spin-off (or, perhaps, a fork) of OpenWrt to be named the Linux Embedded Development Environment (LEDE). It was not entirely clear to the public why the split was taking place—and the fact that the LEDE announcement surprised a few other OpenWrt developers suggested trouble within the team.
