From that same forum thread http://trisquel.info/en/forum/librecmc-free-software-router-distribution-beta#comment-52193 "Like LibreWRT LibreCMC has taken OpenWRT and ripped out a ton of code. At the moment that's about all it is." I wish that were stated at librecmc.org so that one could tell what it is immediately. I also agree with @jxself's comments directly below! 100%.
