Choose the most restrictive (AGPL3 for example). Then users themselves
can also choose to release them under a more free license.

There might be some legal caveats though. Can you force users to
release their work under a certain license by requiring that in the
TOS? Can you change the TOS for existing users to force them to
release new works under a certain license? And can you force users to
retroactively license previously created works by changing that in the
TOS? I would presume that 1) and 2) are possible, but I doubt 3).
Ianal though.
