A bunch of companies
<https://www.theregister.co.uk/2019/09/20/open_source_companies_cloud/>
have met to share a common annoyance: that big corporations like
Amazon, Google and Microsoft are able to profit from their open-source
software without giving anything back.

I’m not sure what you can do about it, though. Attempts to impose more
restrictive conditions on licences seem to have backfired. The AGPL
seems to have been the only one of these efforts to have any legs, and
I’m doubtful it has really achieved much.
