Truly, no invitation is or ever will by needed.  Anybody [whether interested in
Computer Chess or not] who is willing to abide by the charter is welcome.
Abiding by the charter is the key.

Trice may have ruffled a few wild old feathers, but I see no violation of the
charter.

He, in fact, should be thanked warmly for prompting and contributing to certain
issues of great interest to chess programmers.  The issue of whether or not [and
how] to make money from chess programming is of interest to many here.  Legal
issues are a part of this, unfortunately.  Debate on such issues clearly belongs
here, IMHO.
