Mongo did just that (AGPL or custom license), but they moved to create SSPL; for some reason it didn't work out for them?
Redis and Elastic tried something Frankenstein by mixing Apache and custom license code in the same repo, which spooked them and the community for good measure, with Elastic, later, notoriously doubling-down on "open" with SSPL.
Of all the source-available licenses, I like BSL by MariaDB, better.
