It sounds a very reasonable choice to me.

That way if a mobile carrier would like to use OpenBSC to provide a GSM
service and they modify/improve OpenBSC they need to release the
improvement/modifications to their users or commit it back directly to
the OpenBSC community.

Otherwise it would be possible for a mobile carrier to invest a lot of
money into OpenBSC to avoid paying traditional mobile manufacturer
(nokia, ericsson, etc, etc) but never givin back the results of the
investment to the community.
