I know the official story is that Eich resigned, but obviously a lot has been going on behind the scenes.
Mozilla COULD have supported and retained him, but instead equivocated on the idea of free speech. Didn't Mitchell Baker say: "Mozilla believes both in equality and freedom of speech. Equality is necessary for meaningful speech," Baker said. "And you need free speech to fight for equality. Figuring out how to stand for both at the same time can be hard." ? This is a dishonourable position to take. It will have implications for all of us. Freedom of speech is an absolute, not a competing right. I HAVE UNINSTALLED FIREFOX AND WILL NOT BE GOING BACK. _______________________________________________ governance mailing list [email protected] https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
