GPL is more than sufficient for any client.
I know people are going to disagree with me, but I see AGPL as essential for the server. This is because it tends to be run "server side" and then the server side devs like to hide it, or rather, not bother to put up the source code for it. Whenever they get tired of running the server, then their modifications cease to work. Also, server admins kinda can get competitive with each other or think like "you are taking my players away, I have better mods than you etc etc."
I think people just don't like to use AGPL, because they think it will be too much work to put up a link to the source code for the server somewhere. How the heck is that too hard for server admins if they can spend their time making mods to customize the server. I've even seen this with "free software" games like Minetest, in fact it is a common complaint on the Minetest forums. We should quit being afraid of the AGPL and use it to make server admins finally learn to co-operate.
