This sounds like a contradictory position to me.
The whole point of a license is as a place for you to spell out your
requirements for others to use/redistribute the software. If you want
them to share their improvements, that's exactly the sort of thing
that belongs in the license.
It sounds odd to me to use a license allowing others to keep their
improvements closed, and then to shame them for actually following the
license.
