 ## About LibrePCB
 
 LibrePCB is a free
-[EDA](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_design_automation) software to
-develop printed circuit boards. It runs on Linux, Windows and Mac. The project
-is still in a rather early development stage. See
-[Project Status](https://docs.librepcb.org/#projectstatus) for more information
-about the currently available features, limitations and known bugs.
