Displaying text in all capitals is commonly understood as shouting. According to Wikipedia, this association dates at least back to 1856. I understand that it is the only option on pure text tty's, but a lot of terminals nowadays have other options for emphasis, for example bold font or color. Is there a law or judicial precedent stipulating that such a text has to be in all capitals to be binding? Do you maybe remember when was the last time the FSF's counsel reiterated that advice? I'm particularly perplexed at the example of Gnome, which, as far as I can remember, never shot any such message to my face.
