how much right do I have on my project, if there are patches by others?

I don't know that that's true at all.  I dual-license some of my
code under the GPL and a permissive license so that it can be
used in proprietary applications as well as GPLed ones (I don't
like the BSD and MIT licenses, and the more modern permissive
licenses aren't compatible with the GPLv2.)
