Which in specific would help here? From a 4 freedoms point of view, where anybody can use or modify the software for any purpose, it seems tricky.
GNU AGPLv3

Wiki quote:

> GNU Affero General Public License is a modified version of the ordinary GNU GPL version 3. It has one added requirement: if you run a modified program on a server and let other users communicate with it there, your server must also allow them to download the source code corresponding to the modified version running there.

>The purpose of the GNU Affero GPL is to prevent a problem that affects developers of free programs that are often used on servers.
