+# The libreCMC FAQ
+
+## What is libreCMC?
+
+The libreCMC project provides replacement software for consumer-grade
+routers in the form of a small GNU/Linux distro. The software and tools
+that the project distributes allow users to take back control of
+their devices from hardware manufactures. Because libreCMC is [Free
+Software](http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.en.html), users are
+able to unlock the ability to control and breath new life into
+devices the project supports.
+
+## Why should I care?
+
+In the light of recent events, it is more important now more than ever to fight
+for the freedom to control the software that runs on a given device. Users
+should have the freedom to control their devices, not the OEMs who originally
+made the device. Since libreCMC is free software, users have total control over
+what the software on their device is doing. This is important because it means
+that the community can add new features, review what the software is doing and
+make improvements that benefit the community as a whole.
+
+## What devices does libreCMC work with?
+
+The libreCMC project supports mostly consumer-grade router and a few other
+embedded devices. This list can be found on the Supported Hardware page. While
+this list is not extensive, the libreCMC project has very strict requirements
+for supporting devices. Some examples include:
+
+* libreCMC has to be installable from stock firmware. In most cases, devices
+have a complicated process or use of additional tools to replace the firmware /
+software. The project will still consider some level of support if it does not
+meet this requirement and meets all of the other requirements.
+
+* The hardware can't require non-free software or binary blobs to work. Non-free
+Software / Blobs are pieces of software where we (the community) does not have
+the source code under a proper Free Software [1] license. Non-free Software and
+blobs make supporting a device for any length of time a chore and usually
+support evaporates when device vendors stop releasing new blobs / components.
+If a device requires non-free software or blobs, the libreCMC project won't
+support devices that can't meet this requirement.
+
+* The device needs to have enough flash (storage) to work with. Sadly,
+the issue of bloat in modern times is seen as a non-issue for many
+software developers. While there are a lot of hardware that the
+project would like to support, there are some devices that just simply
+don't have enough flash. One of the long-term goals of the project is
+to eventually support devices with limited flash. Right now, the
+minimum requirement for libreCMC supported devices is 4M of flash,
+depending on the features that are desired.
+
+## Features
+
+The libreCMC project's main focus is on consumer-grade routers and a
+few other embedded devices. While libreCMC is based upon OpenWrt, the
+project does not support all of the same features and tries to strike
+a balance between functionality and bloat. The project *does not*
+support the following:
+
+* UPnP support: UPnP is a security nightmare and the project won't support it.
+
+* Services / Applications that belong on their own machine or can't
+run on 90% of targets : While it might be cool to run a particular
+service or application on your router, it is usually is a bad
+idea. Many of the devices that we support are not capable of running
+such things because of a lack of processing power, flash or RAM.
+
+## How often are releases made?
+
+libreCMC releases incremental every 3 - 6 months, depending on if
+there is a critical security or design flaw. The project tries to
+maintain major or LTS (long Term Support) releases for about 2 years.
