In the case of a rented car, I don't believe that there is any distribution. There is performance. But at least in the U.S., there is no public performance right for software. Only for audio recordings, plays, and a few other specific kinds of work. The terms of Affero GPL are an attempt to make up for the lack of a public performance right that we could use to trigger the license.
