From the blog post it looks like the non-profit will be "recommending" the Raspberry Pi for children while the commercial arm reaps the rewards. This is no different from Microsoft pushing its products in schools.
What if a better and cheaper device appears on the scene? Will the Raspberry Pi Foundation recommend it to schools? Probably not. It will never be truly independent from the commercial arm.
I was quite interested in buying a Raspberry Pi but will now examine all the competing devices and make a purchase purely based on the hardware. I appreciate everything they've done but I think we can all put aside the notion that supporting the Raspberry Pi will be doing "good".
