You have to have a license to attract contributors. https://choosealicense.com/ and github make it easy; there's zero excuse to not have a license.

Permissive licenses attract the broadest range of contributors, so if you're looking to build a large community, they are the way to go. GPL tends to have a smaller overall, but very strong pool of contributors, so if copyleft makes sense for your technology, by all means use it.

Just use a license, please.
