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.
