Q: 

How compatible are the GPL and AGPL?

If I have a AGPL licensed code, can I accept a patch that contains GPL code?

I would think you can't do the reverse, accept AGPL code into a GPL codebase, but usually you can move from a less restrictive license to a more restrictive license.

+3  A: 

AGPL is incompatible with GPL2; AGPL3 and GPL3 are compatible with each other. See Wikipedia.
