Isn't there a license that requires giving back modifications without "contaminating" the whole program?

LGPL would require distributors to make changes to the library available, but not affect the licensing of any application built on top of it.

EPL (Eclipse Public License) requires changes be contributed back after a reasonable grace period (I think 6 weeks or something?)
