" summary

OpenWrt One produces a 1.2 GB tarball that bundles toolchain plus all upstream packages, feeds and DL archives so the full image builds offline; workflow uses make menuconfig/make download to generate config, DL and feeds, plus three how‑to files (setup, build, install) required by GPL. Examples show install methods: SCP + sysupgrade, USB+serial U‑Boot, web UI and push_firmware. Claim: upstreaming completed within a year for OpenWrt One, simplifying GPL, CRA and FCC compliance.
