Not necessarily. If you release your software under, e.g., a BSD-ish licence the person who modifies the software has no obligation to make either the enhancements that she makes or the source code of those enhancements available to anyone, including to you. The GPL, OTOH enforces that if anyone releases a modified version of the software she has to release the modified source code too along with it.
