You want something for free, on which you
intend to charge money, but not make it
open-source or contribute anything back
in any way..

yeah, but aren't apache, bsd, mozilla, lgpl and, to an extent, gpl
licenses as written, actually anticipate scenarios such as above? after
all, IBM's is based on eclipse, red hat's "enterprise" linux isn't free
at all?
Would it not be allright, if a company were to offer solutions based on
freely available source code, but not provide their own? hopefully, if
money is made, the company will see it in its' interests to support free
software development by donating to open source projects and promoting
them. for example, if a company like eBay ran their service on Tomcat,
wouldn't that immediately make Tomcat and open source projects in
general, that much more viable for other corporations?

Teh BSD license 4 U! :)
In general, many OSS licenses - apart from the GPL - does allow stuff
like that.

But even with GPL, i think (i may be wrong here / mixing peaches and
oranges) one can, for example, create a web service that operates on
GPL-based software (like an App server), charge money for access to it,
and not have to reveal own proprietary server-side code to anyone?
