Hi Marcus,

according to this homepage:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1292669042/pi433-a-radio-module-funkmodul-for-raspberry-pi
you had a group of people to test and use the Pi433. But last update/comments on this website are from November 21, 2017. What happened afterwards? Did you organize the community differently?

On this homepage:
https://www.pi433.de/en.html
you wrote:
"Purchase Pi433
Due to the rules for recycling (WEEE guideline of EU) Smarthome-Wolf decided to stop the direct distribution of Pi433.

Business partner (e. g. online stores for selling Raspberry-Pi accessories), interested in distribution of Pi433 are very welcome!"

It seems that this was also in 2017

Did you manage to find a business partner?
How many devices have been sold after 2017? Are there people who got more than 1 device?

Please respond to avoid that unused code stays in the mainline kernel forever.

Thanks for your support.

Bye Philipp
