Ethereum Foundation employee sues after firing over refusal to endorse suicide pledge

A former Ethereum Foundation employee, Kayleen Fulton, has filed a federal lawsuit in Colorado alleging she was fired after organizing resistance to a 38-page internal 'Mandate' document that included a so-called 'Source Seppuku License.' That clause asked staff to pledge they would take their own life with a sword if they failed to uphold commitments to keep certain software free and accessible, and employees were reportedly given until the following Monday to accept the document's principles or resign.
