That is complete rubbish IMHO. I would _never_ ask for money when testing a
program, whether it be commercial or not. After all, you receive a valuable
piece of software in return for your opinions and thoughts. I think that is a
fair trade. But it isn't an issue. There are plenty of people more than willing
to test a program free of charge, because they have a genuine interest in aiding
computer chess software development.

Best wishes...
