I'm just wondering if there's a licence which would be open enough to allow broad adoption and for OSS to flourish but strict enough to force big players to actually pay for their unfair usage. If there is not, we should probably create one.
As a long time open source person I still believe the majority of OSS and motivations for individuals and organizations to do OSS is there. Yes, there are VC backed outliers but that is not the norm of OSS. ASF, Cloud Native, Linux Foundation. Great OSS happening.

Sure but most of such projects are old. What happened IMHO in recent times is that, ways before the cloud, the startup movement removed a big chunk of OSS creators from the market, busy doing other stuff. Many were back because of VC backed OSS basically.

I'm not sure that in the future big OSS projects in the system space will be possible without a viable business model. I hope to be wrong BTW.
