Sounds like you just need the AGPL

Yeah because if you open source something under the right license, no abuse happens... What percentage of GPL violators has the FSF prosecuted? Or anyone else for that matter?

The FSF isn't about prosecuting people, but about getting GPL compliance.

Unfortunately working on GPL compliance is expensive, I would encourage anyone who cares about copyleft to support the Software Freedom Conservancy's efforts.

Licensing has nothing to do with this.
