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! + +### GSTIN + +``` +33DGKPA2253J1ZN +``` + +## 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.
