Raspberry Pi (Trading) Limited hasn't existed as a legal entity since 2021. And there are a lot more than two entities under the 'Raspberry Pi' umbrella these days.Yes...there are two entities involved. The Raspberry Pi Foundation (RPF) is an educational non-profit. Raspberry Pi Trading (RPT) is the for-profit subsidiary (now a publicly traded company) that does hardware development and manufacturing licensing.
Raspberry Pi Holdings PLC (LON:RPI) is the entity which has its shares publicly traded. Raspberry Pi Limited (RPL) are its subsidiary, the commercial business which creates, manufactures, licenses, sells and markets products.
Raspberry Pi Foundation (RPF) is a completely separate and independent entity to the above, simply a shareholder holding Raspberry Pi Holdings PLC shares.
I am surprised people think RPF create products produced by RPL, that media credits RPF for products created by RPL, and that some people still believe purchasing RPL products directly benefits RPF and their charitable mission.
