AGPL is certainly the popular choice but it is particularly difficult to wield properly in a corporate environment like GCP or AWS. If your goal is "ha ha fuck you megacorp good luck using THIS license" then congratulations, AGPL is for you. If your goal is to foster a community and ensure service providers contribute upstream, then AGPL fails to meet that bar as it is far too hostile for big businesses.

Proprietary licenses are way more hostile than any FOSS license, though.
