A useful term to describe what it seems to me that the_mitsuhiko means is "noncentral example".
The red-eyed tree frog [1] is an animal, but it is a noncentral example of an animal, i.e., it is not the typical thing you think of when you think "animal". To the_mitsuhiko, the AGPL is a noncentral example of an open source license.
The term comes from the noncentral fallacy [2], which is about abusing noncentral examples.
