It will probably be something like donationware or something where
people can use it for free.
I think the problem you will have is that there don't seem to be any
guarantees (other than your word) that you won't ever charge for the
final product. I am sure you are doing this in good faith, but issuing
your program under (for example) the GPL *ensures* that to be legal your
software must be free and it's then your responsibility to make the
source available *somehow*. This is the guarantee that will mean you're
more likely to get interested programmers signing-up for your project.
Without it, people will be suspicious, whether justifiably or not.
