The AGPL goes further than GPL in the requirement of providing source code, so in a way its more GPL than GPL itself and thus maybe "better".

On the prisoner's dilemma – I see two major dimensions in BSD/MIT vs GPL:

* Should a license enforce the giving back of code or should one be free to do so out of ones own will? Which is the most "free"? Enforced freedom or freedom to be free? (Which one is best really depends on how one defines and values "free")

* Does a long and complex license like the GPL help a project or is the simplicity and shortness of BSD/MIT better?

(Then there's the third type of license which is Apache, which is basically as open as BSD/MIT, but still as long and complex as GPL, to cover eg. patents in addition to intellectual property)
