Mozilla spent $15k to remove the word slave from documentation.
"Buildbot: $15,000. Buildbot is a continuous build and integration system which has been immensely valuable to Mozilla over the past few years. Their award will be used to remove the term “slave” from all documentation, APIs and tests, and also to make improvements so Buildbot works better in the Amazon EC2 cloud."
I don't think the documentation part of that is gonna take 15k USD.
15k doesn't really go far when you're buying CI servers, colocation, and paying someone to watch them.
Mozilla fired CEO / Creator of JavaScript for donating money on anti-gay-marriage campaign.
They didn't fire him. Brendan Eich stepped back himself after public backlash for that anti-gay donation.
Really a PR move forced Eich to resign because he donated money to a charity that was against gay marriage.
When Eich did resign conservatives boycotted Mozilla with the Nozilla campain because they gave into Liberals.
So Mozilla got hit by both sides of politics.
Eich resigned so that the Board wouldn't have to fire him. It wasn't really a voluntary withdrawal.
