This was seen by the public most recently when they forced CEO Brendan Eich to resign for donating $1,000 of his own money to the Proposition 8 campaign.[1] Mozilla officially apologized for Eich's action on April third, 2014, saying that "Mozilla prides itself on being held to a different standard and, this past week, we didn’t live up to it. We know why people are hurt and angry, and they are right: it’s because we haven’t stayed true to ourselves. We didn’t act like you’d expect Mozilla to act."[2]
