According to the page, you can still buy the Hardware, it's made by a "partner" and it's self funding

"Which brings us to the present day. We will still be shipping all orders that are made through the Mycroft website, because these sales directly cover the costs of producing and shipping the products. However we do not have the funds to continue fulfilling rewards from this crowdfunding campaign, or to even continue meaningful operations."[1]

You're right - I read the Register article linked here and jumped straight to the project homepage without realizing the stock listed there was a separate source than the Kickstarter described in the article.
