What's done is done. But now that Mozilla rid itself one of its best assets, what's do prevent a rival like Microsoft or Google to hire Eich and have him work on their products?

I don't think multinationals like Microsoft or Google would be too concerned if they were to pick up one of the top programmers in the world for a, presumably, a non-CEO position.

I doubt any company is chomping at the bit to hire Eich after this fiasco, regardless of his technical competencies.

I think you're wrong there. He'll be unemployed not one second longer than he wants to be.

I'd check the gay marriage positions of say... Yandex or TenCent.
