I am interested in the way Reiser does this with the GPL (see the
licensing readme that comes with Reiserfs). But other than that, a "gift
to original contributor" term is not within the set that I am
recommending to any business. I have yet to see evidence that having
this sort of term embedded in the license has resulted in any
significant Open Source community.

This is a useful term for the sharing-mandiatory license. The Affero GPL
(http://www.affero.org/oagpl.html) is another of these.
