+Hello and welcome to the June 2022 edition of the monthly report!
+
+## mCaptcha is incorporated!
+
+I spent June doing non-technical tasks but I made significant
+progress: I had been trying to do it since summer 2021, but I faced
+various setbacks along the way. A family friend, who is also an auditor
+helped me finally get mCaptcha incorporated!
+
+And we've already filed successfully filed the first tax return too!

+## Ideas for Commercial Operations
+
+Commercial operations will take a while longer(end of 2022, most
+probably). For [Hostea](https://hostea.org), I wrote a dashboard with
+payments capabilities(via Stripe) so that experience will help me do the
+same for mCaptcha. Working on Hostea has been truly enlightening: it's
+probably the first effort to offer a fully libre, infrastructure-as-code
+and payments software included, hosting service. I would like to do the
+same for mCaptcha so that service that I setup goes rogue or if someone
+wants to offer mCaptcha hosted services, they can replicate my set up
+with ease.
+
+But the commercial offering will at no point force me or future
+maintainers turn mCaptcha into adopting a non-free license like the
+[Server Side Public
+License](https://www.mongodb.com/licensing/server-side-public-license).
+So the following months will see administrative changes within mCaptcha
+to device mechanisms to prevent me or any future party with influence in
+mCaptcha development from hurting the project by it non-free.
+
+Hostea is also an experiment in Free Software commercial operations, so
+naturally I'm highly impressed by the ideas that are being discussed
+there. mCaptcha, too, will borrow ideas from that project to make its
+development economically sustainable.
