You can use Supported Source:

https://supportedsource.org/

It's not copyleft, but if you ask you might be able to use it that way.

Not only is it not copyleft, it's not free software nor open source software. It's proprietary software by another name.

Supported Source is more or less shareware with visible source code. It's not free software or open source.

Selling copyleft exceptions works fine with existing free and open source licenses.
