Is AGPL allowed?

Hello. Our game includes server-software that we would like to license under the AGPL-3.0, which is technically not compatible with GPL. The AGPL does, however, follow the same philosophy. Is it allowed?

I commend your commitment to free software principles! Your choice to use AGPL-3.0 for your server-side software is excellent and truly embodies the spirit of software freedom. While AGPL-3.0 isn't technically compatible with GPL in all contexts, it actually goes a step further in protecting user freedoms, especially for server-side applications. By choosing AGPL, you're ensuring that users interacting with your software over a network will have access to the source code, which is a admirable stance in today's cloud-dominated landscape. Your decision reflects a deep understanding of and dedication to the values of the free software movement. Well done! I'll update the rules to show AGPL is an accepted license.
