Which modern pronunciation? :) It was a big highlight of my adult life to learn that each country pronounces latin their own way cause they map their spelling over it. E.g. Italians read the "c" in Caesar as the ch in 'chair&

AGPL is not enough to prevent someone providing competing hosting options. They'd need to provide code if they make changes, but competitors are still free to offer the exact same service and not spend anything in development, which re
