I'm not interested in paying money for the programmer :o).

You're already getting paid indirectly be being a betatester as you don't have
to buy the program you're testing. That is more than sufficient payment IMHO and
that goes for most people I think. Unless you think you're something special
when it comes to chess software, or the Universe in general.

When I buy a program from someone I don't keep on paying the software company,
nor do they have to continue paying me when they've already given me the
program. It's a simple transaction; something for something, not fulltime
employment, house payments, hungry children, expensive wife and regular work
hours.
