What happened with Brendan may be very relevant. See my post further up in this thread.
Brendan did not like what the W3C was doing with DRM and was quite vocal about it. His prop 8 donation was public knowledge for years and nobody had a problem with it... but then suddenly the board, the employees and the community were outraged.
As soon as he was forced out the other execs at Mozilla announced they would be implementing DRM and EME. Coincidence?
You forget that another significant event happened at the time; he was nominated for CEO. That puts a person under a lot of scrutiny in the first place. I would say that it was indeed a coincidence.
