A comment on Brendan Eich.

The real issue is that he was appointed CEO of a non-profit... dependent on the generosity of others for its survival. Controversy, like this is kryptonite to all non-profits. Eich gets points for stepping down rapidly.

Technically he wasn't the CEO of a non-profit.

He was CEO of Mozilla Corp (for-profit) not Mozilla Foundation (non-profit).

However, the majority of people will not know or care about the difference so, in matters such as these, the difference is negligible.

Brendan was the CEO of Mozilla Corporation, which is a subsidiary of the non-profit Mozilla Foundation:
