Not defending Contributor Covenant nor SQLite's Code of Ethics, but since you're being overly sarcastic: how is Contributor Covenant anywhere in the same category of religiosity as a Code of Ethics that literally invokes Christian doctrine by name and is directly based on a Christian book?
I get that people use "religious" in hyperbolic ways but the SQLite Code of Ethics is literally religious in the original sense of the word, not some handwave-y "they're taking it very seriously and encoding value judgements some people disagree with" way.
- mojzu 4y agoYeah I didn't quite get this either, personally I have no problem with the SQLite code of ethics because of its inclusion of "individuals are free to ignore or dispute this". But it does also include such lines as "Put your hope in God." and "Be in dread of hell.", which do make it an explicitly and objectively religious/Christian document, which would put it in a different category to mostly secular contributor covenants or codes of conduct in my opinion
- hnbad 4y agoPersonally I'm fine with the Code of Ethics despite being an atheist as it explicitly doesn't apply to outside contributors and presumably the core team is fine with it (and if they aren't, that's for them to discuss internally, not for me to complain about).
