The problem here isn't that Framework failed to keep track of the ideology espoused by every major developer on the projects they contributed to or endorsed, which, to be honest, isn't something I'd expect of them. The problem (as usual for a corporation) is how they handled complaints. Trying to sweep stuff under the rug in the Internet age just results in someone setting the rug on fire. If instead, Framework's response had been "We're sorry, we didn't know, we won't give money or free advertising to any projects this guy is involved with from now on," the whole mess would have died down by now except for a few people grumbling about how they should do more research before sending money out.
