Hi Mark, The introduction of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affero_General_Public_License gives you the reason for using AGPL instead of GPL. In the case of a puppet module, publishing under the GPL instead of AGPL would not make a practical difference. A puppetmaster distributes the puppet modules within an organization and not to the general public. In my opinion eNovance choice for a copyleft license ( i.e. share and share alike in the creative common jargon ) is sensible : they are willing to share with potential competitors, as long as they are in the same mindset.
