a)
   Yes it is.

   The first letter of name part should be lowercase. (The rest of the
   name can contain capital letters, so use your own discretion when you
   are converting a software name that has some capital letters in it.)

   I don't see a "must" in that part. 

b)
   I think that "terminal" would be a much more collective term then
   "Terminal" is. Renaming it to xfce4-terminal is imho also a bad idea
   since thats just not its name and there might be a project called
   xfce4-terminal once - just because there is none right now.

c)
   What makes "Terminal" different from "FreeBSD" when it comes to
   writing? We all want to see FreeBSD written as FreeBSD and not as
   freebsd. So why do we want to force other piece of software to
   be written in lowercase? Do we apply double standards?


If you want me to back it out, I'll do so, but please reconsider...
