"The code, except as explicitly noted, is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License Version 3 (AGPLv3). A copy of the AGPLv3 is provided in the file agplv3.txt."

The reason is that this puts the burden on the user to look for the "explicit notes," which a priori could be located anywhere in the repository. So it's not so friendly for people wanting to use the code and knowing what they're getting. It would be better if the file could say what in the repo is and isn't licensed under the various licenses that the repo might contain, without having to search the code base.
