My original CoC is still there. It just changed its filename. https://sqlite.org/codeofethics.html If you read the original CoC closely, you will find things that required me to change it. We have: 18. Be a help in times of trouble 19. Console the sorrowing 31. Love your enemies 34. Be not proud 71. Make peace with your adversary before the sun sets Regardless of whether they are right or wrong, some people were troubled with the Benedictine Rule being called a "Code of Conduct". It turns out that the term "Code of Conduct" has special significance to some communities, and if you misuse the term, it causes emotional distress. If I can relieve that sorrow without compromising my own values, isn't it right to do so? It took me several days and countless hours reading enraged tweets to figure this out, but in the end, the solution was as simple as renaming the offensive "Code of Conduct" to "Code of Ethics", thus avoiding the name-of-special-significance, then drop in a pre-packaged CoC in place of the one that became the CoE, and all is well. Took less than 5 minutes once I figured out what to do. Who know it was that easy? -- D.
