Wouldn't licensing programmers raise free speech
issues?
Writing a program is just that, writing. Writing
poor directions for (say) operating a CAT-scan machine or
helicopter could be life-threatening, but nobody wants to
license technical writers.
The problem is that the legislators don't realize
what a mundane activity programming really is.
