Yes, I'm aware of that. I'm merely wondering whether or not they realize the long term consequences of this move.

Well they say it will "2x" the non-profit side...not sure the time-scale on that...

""" it will let Raspberry Pi's not-for-profit side expand by "at least a factor of 2X." """

Plus, full: """

The business arm of Raspberry Pi is preparing to make an initial public offering (IPO) in London. CEO Eben Upton tells Ars that should the IPO happen, it will let Raspberry Pi's not-for-profit side expand by "at least a factor of 2X." And while it's "an understandable thing" that Raspberry Pi enthusiasts could be concerned, "while I'm involved in running the thing, I don't expect people to see any change in how we do things." """

Yeah, sure, running a public company requires no changes to how things are done ... /s

Time will tell. The naivety in that quote is impressive.
