I don't agree that engines that have "little" in common should be considered
unique entries if they are written by the same people or members of the same
team.

For example, Fritz is rewritten by Frans Morsch each time he makes a new
version.  One may assume that if he is rewriting it, he's changing approximately
everything.  It would not be appropriate to allow each of these to play as a
unique entry.

One programmer, one entrant.  And if there are two or more people on the team,
that counts as one programmer.

My humble opinion.
