So basically, if you make some improvements to something, you get to control those improvements. What a horrible idea that is.

Note: this is clearly sarcasm, and it pains me that I need to put this here, but some won't get it.

Considering it doesn't sustain the free software you needed to improve in the first place, yes, that is a terrible idea.

Eh you are not losing control with GPL. If you choose not to contribute back (when using a non copy left license), you are choosing to not provide control to anyone else.
