non-FOSS source-available licenses, and who uses them and why
You seems only interested in licenses designed to protect corporate interests. They exist to... protect some corporate interests.

Of those you listed, #SSPL was rejected by #OSI for a single reasons: #Amazon money as a premium sponsor, but was otherwise just a slightly tweaked #AGPLv3.

Anyway, if you only care about #opensource (thus commercial) stuff, you basically listed all relevan ones.

Yet not all "non #FOSS" licenses exist to please corporate greed.

Many other licenses don't give a shit about business or "susteinability" but try a better balance between #freedom and other political values.

A well known example is #HESSLA

Another less known example of a license used by #hacktivists is the #HackingLicense: https://monitora-pa.it/LICENSE.txt

I use this license in all my side projects: feel free to ask me anything.

The bigger threat to U.S. companies may not be a data breach, but a coordinated campaign designed to make your employees stop trusting everything they see and hear.

Protesters go digital against ICE

Someone leaked a trove of sensitive information about 4,500 ICE and Border Patrol employees, including 2,000 frontline enforcement agents, to the site ICE List last week.

ICE has been pushing courts to give it "unlimited subpoena authority" to force social media companies to identify people running anonymous accounts tracking and monitoring the agency's work.

OK, it is clearly a full out MAGANazi grift & they bumped goal to $600K now.

#Hacktivists - where are you?!?

#GoFundMe #GoFundMurder #HackThisShit

Re: #GiveSendGo was what #MapleMAGA / #Canadian #Nazis used to fundraise for their Freedumb Convoy in Ottawa. For those who are unaware about that fact. The site has been hacked multiple times before & it's time for #hacktivists to get it done again.
All emotional energy is human fuel. Look at how the fascists use their hateful bigoted energy to unite against us, who want peace & for humanity to not be so rare. Energy can be redirected. We can unite more & redirect our combined, powerful, humane energies against fascism.
Sometimes all it takes is fully doxxing Nazis.
Where are the brave #hacktivists?
We need you to join this humanity movement.
