Unless the New York Times is misquoting him, Lilly has tied his
decision to resign directly to Eich's elevation to the CEO position.

  Mr. Lilly, now a venture capitalist with Greylock Partners, resigned
  from the Mozilla board two weeks ago, ahead of Mr. Eich’s
  appointment. “I left rather than appoint him,” he said, declining to
  elaborate further.

Note though that he did *not* tie it to Eich's support of Prop 8.
