He had committed to providing funding to them and was on the board. Being on the board is indeed the only form of control in a non-profit.

He tried to pressure them to make him a CEO, they refused, so he said "no money then, go bankrupt" and quit the board. They made a deal with Microsoft and survived.

Now he's pissed.
