"Any modifications you distribute must be under a BSD-like license" is completely unrelated to "if you want me to include your modifications in my tree, you must give me extra rights to it". You're free to require that I sign over my house, or even to refuse to use my code completely-- requirements to get changes into upstream are completely irrelevant to freeness. -- Glenn Maynard
