Community edition (open) and Enterprise edition (closed) has been a strategy for years, but now AWS/GCP/Azure are building the enterprise part themselves using the community software.
Changing the enterprise/closed license won't stop the cloud providers. Changing the open source license will: imagine a 4-part BSD that adds a license fee for organizations with over a billion in revenue. That goes to the heart of the problem and still lets everyone else use the software like it's a 3-part BSD.
