I’m curious how you arrive at this conclusion given that AGPL says “*Each 
licensee is addressed as ‘you’*. ‘Licensees’ and ‘recipients’ may be 
individuals *or organizations*.”

[although I will concede that AGPL does not explicitly state that an 
organization-licensee does not have obligations under the license to its own 
employees.  I’d consider that part of the Freedom Zero concept though, for that 
organization].
