Or look at the short term Mozilla CEO that was ousted over a public outcry regarding similar private matters. Edit: Hrmf, never mind. Egg on my face.

  Publicly-disclosed (by legal mandate) financial sponsorship of a public advocacy campaign on a public policy matter is about as far as you can be from a “private matter”.

    Hrmf, did i get my CEOs confused. Could have sworn there was some BDSM stuff involved as well. Or was that some other FOSS project?

      > Could have sworn there was some BDSM stuff involved as well. Well, not with Eich. I don't think there was another short-term Mozilla CEO ousted among public controversy. ISTR participation in Gor fandom being brought up alongside sexual harassment/abuse claims for a prominent community figure (maybe Jacob Applebaum? I thought it was him, but I don't see that element mentioned in any of the articles on him, so it may have been someone else) but I don't remember that or consensual BDSM related activity being the central concern in any ouster. EDIT: As a sibling comment suggest, the Gor issue was with Larry Garfield.

      The only well-known techie BDSM stuff I know of was not a CEO - it was Larry Garfield of the Drupal community.
