More modern is not quite appropriate. In modern terms it's the freeware
reverse enginered version.

The creater of Loglan decided at some point it was worth money, so
he trademarked the name and founded the Loglan Institute. At that time
you could not do anything (such as add words) or use the name Loglan
without his permission which usually required a payment.

The lojban people took the concept and created a new languange with their
own grammar and vocabulary.

Me too, but I've never really studied it.
