In my experience, a code of ethics means nothing if there is no way to enforce it. Do these other groups enforce theirs? Is there a (legally safe) way to (for example) revoke someone's cert if they violate it? In my mind, without the enforcement, a code of ethics is just marketing fluff. That doesn't mean it's useless - marketing is important - it just means that it serves a different purpose. > > 2.
