Your best option is to use the GNU AGPL or GPL and sell a different license to companies who find those unacceptable. Be prepared to go to court in order to uphold the GNU licenses, companies will violate them a lot. Also be prepared to have companies reimplement your library from scratch in order to avoid the GNU licenses.

Yes, copy left is really your best bet. While 'technically' not open source, there is also parity ( https://licensezero.com/licenses/parity ) which I think brings a few interesting ideas to this space. All of those options make It harder for your open source users though.
