I would like to suggest that companies have such blanket bans precisely because they want to be able to take advantage of free software in this way without contributing back. If you really don't care if they do or don't, fine, use a permissive license. But I think it's becoming clear that people do care about contributions, and that's part of what copyleft licenses are for.
