> are you aware that Brendan co-founded Mozilla?

Yep.

> HE was the one that gave them THEIR jobs.

Yeah, no. Being co-founder is not everything. He was CTO back then. He pretty much didn't give them their jobs, alone anyway. And of course, to go from CTO to CEO, the board gave him the job. I don't know how that can be wrong.

And in any case it does not give him any specific kind of immunity against criticism.

Note that I didn't write this sentence, I'm quoting the linked article.

> which were a perfectly legal thing to do, btw

Of course. But legal ≠ good. Not speaking about Brendan because my opinion on this is irrelevant, but I'm sure you can find something legal that you don't like. For Brendan homosexual wedding is one example of something legal that's bad, if his opinion on this matter hasn't changed.
