Just lurk for a while or study the ML archives and you'll find that many
of the LADs are very keen on [Free Software][0] as defined by the FSF.
I'm afraid that even though your project may well be worth it you won't
attract (m)any developers on this list by stating something like "you'd
need to be happy about me taking over the copyright of any stuff you
send me". You know, usually, we GPL guys are not interested in writing
"messy, sketchy code" which has to be tidied up. Instead of that I'd
consider the appreciation of each others work an essential part of OSS
development, where often enough a lot of passion is involved.
Just my thoughts.
