>The FSF and Leah have mostly refrained from naming names when talking about who got fired
FWIW Leah never explicitly named the employee because they didn't want her to but Leah made some changes to the libreboot website as well as the accusations made on the mailing list that make it very very obvious who the fired employee was. The changes she made to the Libreboot website actually made Google list the fired employees full name as a related search for a very simple query about the drama. It's still up to this day and searching for the employee's name will also list a related search tying her back to this.
Luckily it doesn't directly confirm that she was the fired employee but still, if some potential employer is looking into her on Google it's way too easy to tie her back to this controversy that she never wanted to be a part of.
