I often think the solution is to move away from crafting a perfect ideology to encapsulate in your license, and just throw out some numbers. If you make more than N* the median income of this or that place, you can't use this software for free (whether that means licensing fees, code contribution, etc can vary). Let the smaller fish grow. If they get big enough, they can give back.

How would that ever be enforced? Do you not run into WinRAR/Sublime problem of "ey you've been using this, pay us, please"?

At 50k USD / year revenue it would be impossible, probably a lot easier at 1m / year. Higher profile use cases are known, and companies tend to comply with licenses rather than pirate software. Just like now, you lose a lot of control as soon as your source is available.
