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 don't think it matters if you target hobbyists. But maybe for commercial use. Or if it's a library. Or if you're within a specific ecosystem like Android where people mostly have agreed on one specific license.
