I treat it as "business plus", not "FOSS minus". And of course, some source-available licenses convert to FOSS over time.

Funny, that's the same complaint FOSS companies have about AWS free-riding off their hard work and then competing. They switch to source-available licenses because a FOSS license allows flush FAANGs to exploit them.
You can switch to a copyleft-FOSS license that requires users like AWS to effectively contribute back too. And this way you stay "open source".
