Marginally related, but something I've been curious about:

With the recent news about things like the TSL (Timescale Licence), BSL (Business Source Licence) maybe?, and other such licences, is there anything that's more general that covers the "you can use this but not sell this-as-a-service" use-case for a broader category? For a contrived example, if I were to make a geolocation-by-IP API as an open-source (source-available?) product, and I wanted to run a business around it, but didn't want a cloud provider to just snag it and offer it unmodified, what licence would I use?
