RMS could have taken a photo of his screen, or done something cheeky like dump his screen to a padded ASCII text file and submitted that. Stick in the mud.

fbgrab it's a thing. Then convert the resulting image to png.

Not everyone likes or use framebuffer. It's actually kinda 'new', as most classical linux text mode was done without it.

I also have no idea how to make screenshots of text terminal (as f1-f12 with no fb)

You can use conspy -d from another tty to take a textdump of a console session.

It is included as one of the utilities in busybox.
