With MIT or Apache higher chance to have commits from third parties.

Non-commercial is highly limited.
Mistuba is BSD and even it is scientific renderer can be used in researches in corporate environment.
GPL is also fair for end use products (not libraries). And can be a good balance to prohibit someone rebrand and did not share changes in a code in final product.
