The usual way I've seen it work is using the AGPL.

AGPL doesn't bar use in commercial production, but the requirements usually scare off any corporate from using it in production.

I like the AGPL but don’t often use it. (I did recently license two coding harnesses I wrote as AGPL.)

A long time ago, I didn’t mind huge tech companies getting rich partially via open source, now I do. In the USA the collusion between government and big tech is starting to smell a little bit like fascism. Sorry, I have only complaints, not any good answers.
