Yes, I've known about the micro:bit foundation for a while but have been
under embargo about it.

Regarding Marc-Andre's question - BBC is an acronym for big bureaucratic
corporation and I think you can buy them online without legal problems.
I believe the organisations who sell the boards must be UK based for odd
legal reasons. Where they deliver them to is pretty open.

I believe (and hope) the German team will be more open. I'm going to
reach out to them in any case to see if / how they engage with the wider
Python community.

I'll let people on this list know how they respond.

Ciao ciao,

N.
