As others have pointed out, businesses should just ditch FL/OSS licenses as a whole and be a closed source product from the start.
There's a pattern here that, person builds an open source product, gets corporate sponsoring, funds a company, then suddenly the open source product steers away from open source because it's upsetting the corporate sponsors.
If you're so bothered by others using your work and not giving back (something that is ENTIRELY allowed by FL/OSS licenses), why make it open in the first place?
It kinda passes the image that these companies want to benefit from free work, but the moment someone uses their product for free and doesn't give back, it's just a nuisance for them.
