    No, this isn’t a bad thing. It’s a common misconception. Raspberry pi trading is going for an ipo. They’ve always been profit oriented. The raspberry pi foundation is still nonprofit, despite sharing some members.

      You can still take issue with a for-profit private company going for an IPO. They are the part that does all of the hardware and software development and the impacts that public trading will have on them will be felt regardless of if the Foundation side remains unchanged.
