Maybe go for a license / ??? that allows for free use but requests payment for paid use

Actually, that would make it non-free (a.k.a source-available) software by FSF's definition. You can do something like Qt (copyleft license for free, permissive license for a fee), but this doesn't really work for a lot of software.
