Yeah I've seen a lot of ppl making this argument about company "x" has a "code of ethics" (COE), and it makes me chuckle. All this came about when Linux was considering making their own then this whole battle started. To me a code of ethics is like one of those neat signs that state a gun free zone to a criminal. Criminals will be criminals regardless of codes or signs....
if an organization NEEDS a code of ethics it's an indication of what kind of people they are.
Makes you wonder if they even interview their employs on "ethics," or if they assume they will behave because a piece of paper says they must.
Good point, never even thought of it that way lol!
