I always thought of Raspberry Pi as a not-for-profit and supported it on that basis. If the model was supposed to be like Mozilla where they have a not-for-profit and a corporation that is wholly owned by the not-for-profit, then it seems like selling out the corporation to for-profit investors runs contrary to the goals of the not-for-profit. Does anyone know why they are allowing the corporation to be sold off?
I found this interesting in the comments:

Fukkin' well figured.
But I'm not sure they are looking to jump anyway. Jeff Geerling reviewed a (supposed) drop-in replacement for the compute module, and it didn't seem like it's quite ready for the primetime.
But, that is only one chip design, I'm sure Rpi could land it better.
Exciting to see more open technology getting some steam behind it.
Very, very interesting. Thanks for sharing
