My point was that some non-free software and services tend to have EULAs which users would not agree to if they were to read them. Such software actively discourage users from reading their EULA, sometimes with a creative interpretation of the law. Your example of small prints falls into that category. > > > > I see all-caps in GUI applications as well. > > > > Assuming that you mean free software, do you have examples? > > Any program that shows the MIT license will display that part in > all-caps.

It looks like there is a bit of flexibility (for instance, jquery links to https://tldrlegal.com/license/mit-license which shows a summary without caps first), but those are good examples to keep in mind. > > > A lot of the discussion so far has been whether it is worth it to ask > > the FSF's counsel for updated advice, valid in the ecosystem and legal > > environment of 2020. > > I never said I'm against asking their counsel.

Sorry, those were not meant specifically for you. It was my understanding that the whole discussion about "other software" was coming from whether there is sufficient reason to ask for renewed advice. What I was trying to say was a generic point, that even if Emacs is not alone in displaying the warranty disclaimer so prominently, in my opinion there are enough examples of the contrary to justify this query.
