Is there a difference between the "license" and the "Agreement" (note capital letter)?

In the T&Cs (at least until Rupie changes them without warning) you get the Term, which is shown first, in which it says the bit about the Agreement remaining in effect even after you leave. The only place where it says the license will terminate when you remove your stuff is under Clause 6, which comes AFTER the term. The two statements appear to contradict each other - or is there some distinction between "the license" which ends, and the "Agreement" which doesn't, even after you've terminated the license as per the terms of Clause 6? Does the Term take precedence over Clause 6?

My spell-checker turned "Rupie" into "rupee". Apt.

- - -

Term. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect while you use the Services or are a Member... You may terminate your Membership at any time, for any reason... MySpace.com may terminate your Membership at any time, without warning. Even after Membership is terminated, this Agreement will remain in effect, INCLUDING SECTIONS 5-17. [My caps - BS]

And then, a bit further down in No. 6

6. Proprietary Rights in Content on MySpace.com.
... This license will terminate at the time you remove such Content from the Services.
