I'd argue that AGPL veers off from copyright law there into pure contract law. OTOH, most of the world seems to consign licensing entirely into contract law - the license is always a civil contract nothing more, which already causes some issues between reading the text in various jurisdictions. And local "spirit of the law" that backs the license also differs. Also pretty sure at least USA is place where strict reading are at least a viable court strategy, to my understanding.
