Hello everyone,

I'm just a random computing engineering student throwing his €0,02 into the fray.

It is not obvious that an ethical component belongs (or doesn't belong) in a BSD practitioner certification.

Personally, I'd let ethics be a field-wide concern. As in, someone calling himself a software engineer or system administrator should abide by a certain code of ethics.

And while many ethical codes can be tied to religion, most
professionally-based codes of this kind are not.

I'm still trying to grasp where religion came in.

If the primary purpose of the certification is to serve the public interest (including those who contract or hire certified people), then an ethical code is completely appropriate and desirable (though its composition will inevitably be controversial).

I was under the impression that this certification would ease my future hiring process.

Cheers,
