Hi Greg,
Thanks for the answer. I read it twice and I think we think the same but
comes to different conclusions. About myself. I have a fulltime job in
Antwerp (that's in Belgium, where Kim Clijsters, the US Open winner from
yesterday is from, where NATO and EU HQ's are) and I do a fulltime job
(here it's 37hours a week) at the Antwerp citytransport company. It's a
non-IT job. Beside that I have a small company that does ICT consulting
for NGO's and small buisiness. We work most of the time with open source
and open standard solutions (FreeBSD & Debian). If I ever get a project
for privicy violation, etc, no thanks :-)
I have no problem when the BSD cert institute gives themselve some ethic
code that it find important. such as
1. we examite people without making any difference in sex, religion,
color, etc
2. Our examinators are well trained, well certified professionals
3. Our examinators never examinate family, clubmembers, friends.
4. ...
What I can't get is that you give one to people that wish to let
certified there skils. Is the example "Avoid harm to others" an ethical
point or a technical? "To minimize the possibility of indirectly harming
others, computing professionals must minimize malfunctions by following
generally accepted standards for system design and testing", seems to me
a techical answer for what they call a point in a ethical code.
