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?
The fury of however many people there are that actually care about this issue?
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.
The irony of this happening in SV where everything is a supposed "meritocracy" :)
