Eich has resigned from being CEO.
Mozilla's board knew what crosshairs they were placing him into.
They're the ones who exposed Eich, to force him to explain his donation to a cause devoted to restricting rights.
He was good at his previous position and there was no issues.
Mozilla's board, in their little intra-family fight, made this a problem.
Mozilla constantly poses itself as a political organization, as the forefront of new open source (trying to avoid long history of sexism, et al associated with old open source).
They should have known Ahead-of-time what would happen.
No one questions the political donations of Exxon. That's because Exxon doesn't put itself as a mouth piece of anything but selling/buying goods.
Eich, to his discredit, handled the issue poorly. He didn't figure that the issue was about him, not Mozilla.
The public wanted to hear his position on Prop 8 and if that opinion was different/same.
Maybe Eich knew his opinion was going to make things worse. I could only see that of he didn't phrase things carefully.
Hell, "my church told me this was the stance to take" would've diluted the outrage.
As I've noted before, I'd want to ask Eich "in the middle of San Francisco, at the heart of many gay rights groups, what the hell did you possibly expect could've happened when you donated over the limit that would put your name on a publicly accessible list for an anti-homosexual marriage cause?"
I mean really, $1 less and this would've never happened.
