The GPL and other copyright licences protect actual code, not ideas. Contributors cannot be "contaminated". Just don't cut and paste. Having said that, although my voice should not be a loud one as I have not made a significant contribution, it seems to me to make most sense to put JOSM-NG under the GPL because then there would be no concerns about cutting and pasting code, algorithms etc. or reusing resources like XML files and images from JOSM.
