If I had a sponsor and an employee was criticizing the decision to say something to that employee would be based on how the criticism was done. If the person mentioned that they just didn't like Google's surveillance program then I would let it go. But if they ran around yelling about Google is evil because of said programs then we would have to have a talk.

If I am running a small company and your personal opinions are costing me money it would be crazy for me to keep you on. Not saying that is what happened here but that is more of a response from some of the comments I have read.

Code Club is a not-for-profit organisation, and Linda was a founder. It may cost them money, but don't the aims of the organisation come into it?

[facepalm]

Just because they are not-for-profit doesn't mean that they don't need money to keep running their business. It also doesn't mean that nobody get's paid.
