The title should be all caps. From this page [1]:
> Note: DJGPP is spelled all upper case when it would normally be capitalized, and all lower case otherwise. It is never correct to spell it ``Djgpp''.

or would you start another jif/gif-kinda war over this with the author? XD
Also I can see that Paul Graham's "my website my rules" is even stronger than mine or DJ Delorie's, so Djgpp is also correct (if not by the Gods, then by fist).
That strongly reminds me of "it's spelt Raymond Luxury-Yacht, but it's pronounced 'Throatwobbler Mangrove'".
Additionally, word-initial single G before short I is always [g] instead of [dʒ] in native English: gift girl give gibbon gimlet gizzard gilded git gimp giddy gig gimbal.
The exceptions are borrowed French words: gin (le gin), ginger (le gingembre), giraffe (la girafe), giblet (OF: gibelet).
Although: "Since C++ is integral to gcc, djgpp no longer stands for "DJ's G++" but probably stands for something like "DJ's GNU Programming Platform"." [2]
"Couldn't we rework that command to not use + separators?"
"No, far better to take that character out of consideration."
Unix: "Filenames can use control characters. I don't care if that makes pipes between commands really complicated! Add an option for NUL-separated filenames if you have to."

Then why does its creator write it all lowercase?
> Do you also write MS-DOS as "Ms-dos"
Yes.
It's written consistently in all upper case in the copy text at https://www.delorie.com/djgpp/.
When it's written in all lowercase, like in the title, that's a stylistic preference that you can disapprove of if you want, although it's an incredibly petty thing to care about.
> Yes.
Well, that's your prerogative, but it's against standard English orthography. Acronyms and initialisms that refer to proper nouns are spelled all uppercase in English. FBI, NASA, WHO, GCC, HSV, NY, no "Fbi", "Nasa", "Who", "Gcc", "Hsv", or "Ny". You'd never get the latter versions past any remotely competent copy editor or grade school teacher.
As an example of different orthography, in standard Finnish NASA would indeed be spelled "Nasa", but FBI is still FBI and DJGPP is still DJGPP.
And consistently lowercase in the article linked in the post I was answering.
There is 10 years between the 2 links, seems the author changed their mind about introducing words with forced irregular capitalization.
DJ's GNU Programming Platform (DJGPP)
Apart from organizations, I'd capitalize only the first character for most.
So it's HIV but Nasa, and because you can hardly pronounce DJGPP it's all capital letters.
