In The Netherlands the first generation RPi was only sold to users with a Chambers of Commerce registration, I figured this was always the typical end user for it. Like schools, universities, prototyping for companies. Was the RPi in the rest of the world targeted towards home users?

- firesteelrain 9mo agoYes, anyone can buy it.
- microtonal 9mo agoWhat? I ordered the original Pi in May 2012 from Farnell/Element14 without a Chamber of Commerce registration (KvK nummer). A couple of my colleagues did too.
- tirant 9mo agoSame here. Also bought one in NL back then without issues.
- systemtest 9mo agoThat was only possible with a KvK registration back then. They changed it after a while so that end consumers could buy one directly.
- systemtest 9mo agoYes they changed it after a while so people without a CoC/KvK could also purchase them. But initially only companies and institutions could buy them.
