Have you considered BSL [0]?
The fresh versions are source-available, but older versions convert to open source (GPL, Apache or something) after a few years.
You can still build a business on your software -- as long as you keep developing, no competitor will be able to use up to date version. And people who want to rely on open source can do so, knowing that the software will get open-sourced eventually, no matter what the company decides.
