Honestly, AGPL license your projects: That will prevent obnoxious companies from taking your work without giving back.
If you deliberately pick a BSD-style license, then you don't get to complain about 'big winners' not cutting you a slice. They're doing exactly what you told them they could do.
People pick a BSD-style license because that's what they are told to do by VC-backed startups looking for a return. It's used as a marketing tool. The GPL and associated licenses are given a bad rap.
And now we have people complaining about big companies literally agreeing to the terms set out by little projects and someone they are being unfair?
The thing about AGPL is that you can still dual-license if you want. AGPL by default, and allow companies to purchase a non-AGPL version if you want.
