What license to pick...

OK..

So we (my company) have decided to make our VR-toolkit open source! But we
haven't decided which license to use for it. GPL seems the obvious choice,
but we want to restrict the freedom somehow (at least in the beginning, just
so we can ge more organised). We definately want to prohibit commercial use
(I guess GPL covers this), but we also want to be notified of any changes
made in our source (so we can review them and possibly build them in, in the
'real' version). AND we don't want other people to be able to create their
own distribution of the toolkit. I guess GPL allows them to do this. I've
also looked at QPL (from Qt free edition) and it might be what we're looking
for.

Any ideas?
