I believe the '05 leads one to believe that a listed product is required.

Maybe why the '08 made such changes.

From the '08:

250.148 Continuity and Attachment of Equipment Grounding Conductors to Boxes.
(C) Metal Boxes. A connection shall be made between the one or more equipment grounding conductors and a metal box by means of a grounding screw that shall be used for no other purpose, equipment listed for grounding, or a listed grounding device.

I don't see where the screw needs to be listed, just the other two.
 
250.8 Connection of Grounding and Bonding Equipment
Grounding conductors and bonding jumpers shall be connected by exothermic welding, listed pressure connectors, listed clamps, or other listed means. Connection devices or fittings that depend solely on solder shall not be used. Sheet metal screws shall not be used to connect grounding conductors or connection devices to enclosures.

From the 2005 code, some were using this section to try to require listed "grounding screws", but there is no such listing.

So you list them for those types of people.
