Lawrence Rosen wrote that "the reason such provisions (warranty and
liability disclaimers) are often shown in capital letters is that the
law requires that these provisions be prominent so licensees will notice
and read them", and went on to state that he much prefers "to capitalize
only very important words, such as the words AS IS" since "capital
letters are harder to read and are frequently ignored simply because of
the printing" (Open Source Licensing, Rosen, 2004).
Considering that the indemnification does not stand out in any way, I
suppose it does not fulfill the requirement... but this is somewhat off
topic anyway :)
