"should be compensated for" - what a wonderfully passive-voiced phrase. If you don't want giant corporations using your open-source code, it's as simple as using the GPL. Of course, in that case your code probably won't get so popular in the first place.

s/GPL/AGPL/

Plenty of SaaS providers end up using GPL code as if it was MIT since no distribution = no virality.
