I think a fundamental root of this problem is that many foundational parts of the open source/free software model are social and not economic in nature. People are encouraged to view this as a commons, where everyone is helping each other and lifting each other up. In practice, if you put something on github, you're funding some tech company's products, you just don't know it yet. In my case I built and maintained my software for 3 years and when I chose my license I knew the license meant that someone could repackage it and sell it. That was a decision I made, and maybe my decision was wrong, but in the end the economic factors meant I could no longer pay rent by doing it anymore, so I stopped. Those actors lost the foundation of their product as a result, so the economic factors didn't end up working out in their favor either. I could perhaps have prevented their actions by using the GPL, but it wouldn't have suddenly made them pay me - they would have just lifted someone else's inferior permissively-licensed solution, because there were multiple options and mine was just the best. I did previously have corporate sponsorship, but that never lasts forever.
