Aren't modifications open source by default? You mean some kind of Creative Commons licensing label or something? I'd be up for that. Certainly I'm never going to believe that anything I do can't be optimised or improved upon and if it gets people something better or saves me some work, all the better.

Who can say? Since a large amount of people here are coders I'm willing to bet that quite a few simply take your mod, improve/change whatever they feel necessary and use it. In fact I know that often happens. This way they're more likely to hand back their modded version and donate it for general use I assume.

Or come to that, there are endless suggestions and requests from people. You tick the "DIY" box in the mod specifics list and say "Off you go then ".
