I'm here for the job of the certification, not for creating a religion or start judging other IT professionals. I love BSD, but who are we to do such a thing?
If we are going this way, I think I'll start looking for something else, sorry.
Also: each country has it owns costumns/habits (what's the right word here?) and they work on different ways. For example: it's commom to give a gift for someone on Japan after doing business, even if you are in government. In Brazil it would look like corruption or "personal favors".
So, creating such a code would be hard and exaustive, plus the job of controlling people, checking acusations against a professional. It could also be used to "mark" a professional ("hey, you know Mike from IT? He has already been on an ethics comittee who found him guilty! Oh, really? Let's fire his ass off!") even by it's older employeer, who could acuse him of something just because he's pissed off.
Sorry, I'm against it in all ways.
I believe there should be a code, for sure, but not only for us, this should come from the IT Professionals Association of each country.

Hmmm,
I was thinking BSD was a operating system. If I read some of the info on
the links you give and you wish to adopt these for BSD cert it is more a
'belief' or a some church or so. I don't see what this has to do for a
OS certification.
Just my 2 €cent...
