AGPL sort of requires this and I’ve started to use it in projects that run on networks. The problem I’ve seen is that so many cloud providers use software with permissive licenses like MIT.

Honestly, more projects need to switch to licenses that require contributions back to the source if you publicly built upon it.

My company, for example, has a FOSS scanner and rejects any library that has copyleft provisions. I imagine most companies do. The corporate world would become absolutely fucked if every package decided to use GPL.

And just a reminder how one developer fucked over companies by removing his library from npm.
