On the latter point, sure.
On the former, yeah, if you don't require copyright assignments, and license under GPL, then sure you're giving up at least *some* control over the project: you can't relicense it to something proprietary without major (probably impossible) effort -- that is precisely the bargain under which lots of people contribute to GPLd project.
It's sort of a Faustian bargain, but in reverse.
