Hi Maciej, Thank you for sharing your concern. I understand how you feel, and hope to address some of your points.
First, please be aware that Brendan chose to step down. To force him to stay against his will would be to truly infringe on his freedom. Mozilla does respect freedom of speech. This respect extends to employees, who may choose to use that freedom to either support or criticize Brendan. Again, to restrict what employees say would be to truly infringe on free speech. You probably have seen that the internet is a powerful tool for speaking freely (it even allowed you to send your message). You might be interested to know that as a non-profit, Mozilla is one of the few organizations in the world truly protecting the internet. We have no shareholders and relatively few financial interests. This cannot be said of Google, Microsoft, Apple, and other companies that you are considering supporting instead. I know you may still have some reservations about supporting Mozilla, and I completely understand. Please also remember that Mozilla is about so much more than this one issue, and that we agree more than you might realize. -- John Karahalis Mozilla openjck.com ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Maciej Kościelak" <mk68...@st.amu.edu.pl> > To: governance@lists.mozilla.org > Sent: Tuesday, April 29, 2014 11:37:09 AM > Subject: Support to Brendan Eich > Dear Mozilla > As far as the Brendan Eich’s issue is concerned, I resign from supporting a > company that is opposed to the match which is a compound of women and men, > and that does not respect freedom of speech and the right to act in > accordance with his conscience. > Regards > MK > _______________________________________________ > governance mailing list > governance@lists.mozilla.org > https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance _______________________________________________ governance mailing list governance@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/governance
