      The sole owners of GitHub, NPM and VSCode and still being the number 1 security risk to any major enterprise.

      Sadly, I have to work almost exclusively within their Ecosystem at work (although I've abstracted it partly by using as little as we can where we can run it in our cluster - easier to migrate)

   I don't think there has ever been an answer that doesn't include something like GNU GPL version 3 and GNU AGPL. Not because of anything special about this situation but because that's what corporations do whenever they can. (As many people who have had "could we contribute this back" discussions might be able to attest.)
