Yes, details like that really matter, and if the party you let go can pull half the company out from under you then you may have won the battle but you've just lost the war. On top of that you'll be in lawsuits until the third generation or so given who else sits at that table (Sequoia, YC and Microsoft to name a few).
Does it really matter? If the behavior appears to be in conflict with OpenAI, and the board doesn’t like it, then that’s enough to let him go. It doesn’t need to be a contract violation, he just wasn’t doing the job they wanted him to do.
