  1. Why two organizations?

Without going into a lot of history, the straight forward answer is that; OpenEmbedded is the organization representing the developers who created the OpenEmbedded build system many years ago. It is a stand alone organization that is also a Software in the Public Interest associated project (SPI provides financial services). The Yocto Project is a Linux Foundation project. The Linux Foundation is an organization serving its corporate members. OpenEmbedded will continue to serve the needs of the OpenEmbedded developers and larger community of people using OpenEmbedded.
