Then you want free software (a subcategory of open source).

Free Software and Open Source have definitions that are both on their face and in practical application by the bodies responsible for each almost entirely identical. Neither is a subset of the other.

If you are concerned about mandating users provide modifications by a similar license to the one they received material under, what you want is copyleft.
