You can also do things like dual licensing.
GPL or Affero GPL plus proprietary license. Of course this puts off outside contributors so not if you want a "bazaar" development mode—but people complaining about this are usually not doing so.

I remember learning about Affero at a Perl Conference in the late 90's or so.
It’s like Microsoft’s VS Code nonsense where all the important bits are non free, or any company with “open core”. They don’t care about software freedoms; it’s just open source cosplay.
If both licenses are accepted by essentially everyone as inherently fully free software licenses, and they don't contradict each other, then what's not to like?
Consider the appropriate example here, which isn't anything to do with AGPL (which many people do NOT accept as a free software license), but rather the AL2 / GPL pairing which was the evolution of the original pairing created by the inventor of dual licensing (Larry Wall).
What's your beef with Artistic License 2.0 / GPL dual licensing?
