If he's saying that a sufficient proportion is, that it's reasonable to worry about downloading binaries, then I'd go along with him. (And I wouldn't restrict that worrying to "free" software "on the internet", either.)


Unless the US list of not-capitalised words is written somewhere so definitively that changing it requires large majorities in both Houses of Congress and ratification by all the states, I'd recommend capitalising everything. Part of the reason you're capitalising in the first place is (presumably) to canonicalise the names and avoid ambiguity -- ambiguity which roars back again if there's any disagreement about the list of uncapitalised words.
