Which license leads to more contribution: MIT or GPL? (monero.town)

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?

GPL is the only good license out there. MIT just leaves too many opportunities for abuse because corporations won't ever do what is in the best interest of humanity.
