TAPR open hardware license is one that asks for something back without being a big burden.
They ask for communication attempts about modifications that are distributed, and if
the attempt by email fails, that ends that obligation. The form of design details
communicated is left unspecified and does not have to be complete in some rigorous way.
Their intent is to gather up any safety or performance related improvements
made by downstream users/ddevelopers.
