You have said above that you're concerned about companies violating your
license. They can violate your license no matter what it is. A free
license can't prevent people from violating the license. A non-free
license can't prevent people from violating the license.

As such, no license will "work for you," because you seem to have goals
that are not solvable by software licenses.
