Why half of the license is CAPSLOCKED? Is it really necessary?
- selleck 11y agoThat is the "warranty" section of the license. Most software contracts as a standard have the warranty section in all caps. Source - I sell a database and deal with software contracts on a weekly basis.
- zhte415 11y agoIt doesn't have to be capitalized. US law (and probably some other places) requires key parts of a contract to be 'conspicuous' i.e. well read and not missed. CAPS LOCK NEAR THE BEGINNING OF THE CONTRACT seems to be a convention (in the US) [for making things 'conspicuous'] where something as revolutionary such as bullet points may not be. This is not global convention (for making things 'conspicuous') and seems peculiar to the US.
