"Therefore the OpenID Foundation invites Apple to: [...] Join the OpenID Foundation" It's not really an "invitation" if they expect Apple to give them money.

  Let's start a crowdfunding campaign to pay for the Apple's membership. 10k shouldn't be that hard to get given the amount of time we, developers, have to spend on Apple's custom implementation.

    Holy sheet - don't give them ideas, man! Apple are skimpy enough as they are...

  It’s is. I can invite you to buy something from me.

    Beyond that, legally, anything you buy needs to have the seller invoke a concept called an invitation to treat[0] which in modern times is usually established at the point of issuing a receipt or tax invoice. Even if someone has paid for something, the seller does not have to recognise that a transaction has taken place and would not have to enter or execute the contract. This is especially important in times where there might be a pricing error or something. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invitation_to_treat https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invitation_to_treat
