Its very good this topic is coming up. Fortune 100 companies pay a lot of money for these services, a classic example is Azure Search, which is using ElasticSearch. I wonder how the ElasticSearch community or the founder is benefited. I am curious to know. Also AWS sells a dozen of open source project as services.

There's a really simple solution to the problem of people you don't like using stuff you give them: don't give it to them.

Use AGPL, or add a viral exclusion for any company with a $10B market cap or whatever you want.
