Wouldn't this problem be solved by the GPL approach, where any

The GPL does not require re-submission to the original source.

This way, yes, you can make your cool changes, and sell them, but you
have to send the patches back to the original parts, where they can
either be integrated or not, depending on what the PT admins think.

You don't have to send the changes back to the maintainers, you
only have to make the source of the changes freely available to
everyone, you're even allowed to charge a copying and handling fee.

The only real  restiriction is that you can't control what people
do with this source code once they have it.
