Yes, but with non-copyleft permissive licences nothing stops anybody
(either a contributor or a user or a company) from taking your work,
closing it, and redistributing it as proprietary software...

Copyleft is precisely a hack around the (awful) copyright system meant
to avoid that free software can be easily cannibalised.

Anyway, I have no intention to start a license flame, so it's better
to stop here :) You asked for comments, some provided their views, now
it's up to you to choose the license you like the best.
