From gwern’s summary over on lesswrong it sounds like the actual report only stated that the firing was “not mandated”, which could be interpreted as “not justified” or “not required”. Is it clear from the legal context that the former is implied?
I’m pretty sure WilmerHale chose that word carefully. I do not see an implication that it was not justified. Moreover, as the statement says, boards have very broad discretion over this kind of stuff. So “not mandated” says very little indeed!

Ah yes, that’s a great summary I hadn’t read yet. Link: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/KXHMCH7wCxrvKsJyn/openai-facts-from-a-weekend?commentId=eFuasCwaKJr2YiScY
And it looks like likely that phrase actually meant “not required”!
