It never did. The structure hasn't changed meaningfully recently, apart from the massive windfall of floating the commercial arm.
The foundation's purpose hasn't changed, its just now a fucktonne richer.
But the thing I'm not quite sure about is why that matters, virtually every other player, apart from adafruit is a corporation all about shareholder value.
- klelatti 1y agoFair enough. Previously the commercial arm was 100% owned by the foundation and the foundation didn't make computers. Not true that nothing has changed though. Commercial arm has to answer to outside shareholders now which wasn't the case before.
