All we know is that some organizations don't present no-warranty notices.
We don't know whether it was a thought-out decision.  If it was, we don't
know what their reasons were.  No conclusion can be draen.

Displaying text on the screen is not shouting.  I see you have strong
feelings about those words on the screen, but I don't see any real
problem in them.  No real reason to remove them.

If they were of no importance, I'd say, "Ok, delete them if you like."
Because it would not be worth arguing about.

But they are important -- and Nicolas Rougier posted the reason why.
This is a GNU Project policy decision, and "I hate the capital
letters" is not an argument for changing deleting them.
