Ethereum Foundation sued for firing employee who opposed ‘suicide pledge’

A lawsuit filed by former Ethereum Foundation (EF) Protocol Support lead Kayleen Fulton against Stiftung Ethereum, Vitalik Buterin, and others alleges she was fired after disclosing a cancer diagnosis and organizing opposition to a “suicide pledge.” In February of this year, the foundation distributed a draft of its new mandate to employees. The document featured a so-called “Source Seppuku License” that included a promise that “the author, maintainer, editor or (re)distributor… shall uphold the following… to take his or her own life with a sword upon failure to uphold any of the pledges in this license, or upon modification or removal of any part of this license.” Read more: Where are the Ethereum founders 11 years after the genesis block?
