...stupid reply, i suppose, but is a feature and not a bug of
getty/login to switch to UPPERCASE if some initial input was UPPERCASE,
simply to preserve compatibility with old terminal that understand only
uppercase (6-bit?).

Could simply that someone have typed in some uppercase-only text on
login?

 I brevetti software renderanno schiavo tutto il software, anche il software
  libero, ma le conseguenze potrebbero essere peggiori: tutta la società
           potrebbe ritrovarsi schiava del sistema brevettuale.
