Having to have a written code of ethics is usually a very sure sign
that there are problems in this respect. Every time i hear about
anything like that i'm reminded of the Moral Code of Bulider of Communism
(yes, there was a poster with that text in virtually every classroom
in the ussr). That one was a lot more comprehensive, too.
Well, the early Internet types have unwritten ethics - and it is a hell
lot different from the corporate ethics of the Professional Engineers (tm).
Clashes between these two often provide spectacular fireworks
So lack of a written code is a sure sign that all is well? Emperical
evidence would suggest otherwise.
