    Well companies could still be liches. If what they are building around your software isn’t a direct derivative (which it will most likely not be), then companies will still be able to publish their closed source work, while mentioning your open source software (if they even need to).

    They benefit from your code and give nothing in return.

    This can also be true if the companies use your software without redistributing it. They will just use your software and never give anything back.
