here in my organization we are committed to software development and computational research, this does not exempt us from the necessity of codes vis-a-vis of other organizations which have one and the public administration which requires organizations to have one. You can live without a CoC for a small project, but as the project grows and start interacting with many other parties, it becomes necessary to be well organized. _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
