Suppose I want my project to have as many contributors as possible. Generally do you think more people are inclined to contribute (upstream) if the code is permissive or copyleft or do you think it doesn't really matter?

I'm just me, but I'd rather contribute to GPL projects than MIT ones, all else being equal.

That said, I've not really done any significant amount of "contributing" to other folks' projects. Mostly the open source code I publish is my own single-handed thing. So far, anyway. (Maybe I don't play well with others. 🤔 )
