[...] Our licence agreement with RS Group came to an end in June 2022, >>> with the result that they no longer manufacture Raspberry Pi products.
Nice bit of passive-form marketing speak for: we decided that we did not
want to extend the licence agreement because we think we can make more
money that way. (Or: we=they!)
Not that there's anything wrong with making money.
Perhaps it was RS who did not wish to resume?
Yes, that's why I added "or: we=they" but that was a bit cryptic, sorry.
that press release does not
comment either way but RS have started producing their own SBC so may not wish to produce a competing device?
Ah good catch, if that's it; I can't seem to find anything about it.
Don't think there's mention of it here in the list of press releases on
the UK website:
