Not really, it's way too broad for that. If it were completely objective

No, because copyright law is something that's enforced by a jurisdiction,
that same jurisdiction (presumably, though the license was unclear about
this) whose other laws the license is mandating you follow. Copyright law
is not enforced by God.
