Hi Philippe, I suspect it is a template issue.
I just copied and pasted the license text from the SPDX listed license page: https://spdx.org/licenses/AGPL-3.0.html and it matched. We would need to diff the two versions of the text and see what is different. It is also quite possible there is a bug in the code, but most of the time I have found it to be an issue with extraneous text not being marked.
